Nail Biter


Some days you wake up and the undeniable fact is that your life is just a pile of steaming excrement.

But wait a minute.  Everything is relative.

Take Shanyna Isolm.  Please.  And just freaking help her!

The criminal justice student developed a skin disease in 2009 and naturally doctors were unable to figure out what was wrong with her.  Last year she went to Johns Hopkins where she learned that rather than growing hair, she's growing nails.

Needless to say the girl is a mess and naturally her insurance is practically worthless for the kind of care and medication she needs.

She's the only person on the planet with this disease, but just in case there are more unlucky people out there, she's set up a foundation to help them, and presumably her.
