Don't miss the brand new series - Sundays at 9pm on Discovery UK

How do you cope if you are born physically different, or grow up to look extraordinarily different? What happens if you have a condition that is so rare, that many times even world medical experts cannot name it, let alone cure it?

My Shocking Story gives a voice to unique individuals around the world living with extraordinary abilities, physical conditions or extreme medical conditions. Using personal testimonies from our lead characters, those closest to them, and medical experts, these films give a fascinating insight into what life is like when on the surface at least - you are not like ordinary people.
