A 19-year-old girl in Britain has no past. She suffers from a rare condition that wipes out her memories leaving her at the mercy of her family to even remember if she has had her breakfast.
Susac Syndrome is a rare disease and till date only about 250 cases have been reported in the whole world. This medical condition affects the person so much that they can't remember what they did yesterday, reports The Sun.
Doctors expect the teenager to improve in another five years but they caution that any hearing or sight loss during the period would be permanent.
Till a year ago, she was a performing art student who was able to recall the entire script of 'We Will Rock You' and now she can't even remember her beloved grandmother's funeral which took place last year. She has to be constantly reminded that two of her friends are pregnant and hence they are gaining weight.
She is totally dependent on her family and can barely go out on her own as her sense of balance is also being affected. She has already had to give up college and more heartbreak soon follow as she might have to give up her job at a diner.
