I started puberty at 4, and my doctor thought it was a pituitary gland tumour, but it turns out I was exactly like Alyssa, going through puberty at that age. I was given an injection to stop it, and I started again at eleven and half. I also have to be really careful when I fall, I have three broken bones and I am now almost 39. I can tell you that it does help if the doctor knows what they are looking at, but sometimes it does stump them. I hope Alyssa is well and healthy today.
I have it too! Broken 6 bones so far, I didn't have early puberty though, puberty started the syndrome for me and all my bone deformities develop during my teen years
Wow, it's great that they knew what they were doing, I'm happy for you! It's a strange question, but are you able to have children, or were your ovaries taken out?
The child actress playing Alyssa in the re-enactments is just the cutest most angelic looking lil thing! Squishy lil chubby face with the big eyes and that lovely smile omg 🥰
@@patwalpriya yes they are missing the whole story moaning about blinking.. I'm a redhead and wished for a redhead daughter and got blondes with green eyes
Lmaoo why are these documentaries so cringey. The stories is obviously very interesting. And I feel for them. But it’s just made so overly dramatic. Especially with all the blinking😂😂
Read comments before watching. Kept looking for dramatic blinking and thinking "what is everyone talking about?" Then it happened, and I'm like "oh..."
Okay but does anyone else remember this one case from the past where a 5 year old girl got pregnant and they said that she also had early period? I'm glad this girl have a safe household.
@@martinaosullivan1622 she started her period at 3 and "got" pregnant at 5. She was obviously been abused by her "father" or some family member. Lina Medina. The pictures are scary.
the worst part is it contributes to stigma and shame around bodily functions or body parts making a child with prudish parents a great target for paedophile behaviour. they're too ashamed and embarrassed to say to parents and doctors that they have been touched inappropriately
If she was so underweight and so unhealthy, why on earth did they send her home? Why did not they give her any fluids, anything nutrition through a canular? I dont understand -_-
I googled Samantha, Google says that she graduated top of her class from UVA with degrees in political science, English and anthropology. And she's now married and is a best-selling author! You go, girl!
the doctor who automatically accused samantha of starving herself without considering her symptoms made me so mad!!!! that's a seriously ignorant mistake.
Similar to my friend when she was 17. Went to GP many times, was dismissed by GP as being on drugs. Drugs, really? When she was bleeding profusely when she went to the toilet and becoming a skeleton. Eventually her mum went to GP with her and had to state she had seen the symptoms. As if you would make this up! GP reluctantly referred her to hospital where she was admitted straight away, was at deaths door and in hospital for months. Turned out was a rather unpleasant disease called ulcerative colitis.
Happened to me too. I became very emaciated and the doctors immediately accused me of being anorexic even though I’ve never had an eating disorder. It’s really frustrating and takes a mental toll being repeatedly accused for something that isn’t in your control.
Happens to me all the time. I'm actually not underweight, in fact a bit overweight, but because I'm not obese doctors accuse me of being anorexic all the time. They don't even ask me, they just accuse me and write "anorexia" in my medical records as if it were proven fact.
Yes, absolutely disgusting. Anorexics don't go to the doctor and complain about how thin they are!! So they didn't even know jack about the thing they were supposedly diagnosing her with. And even if she HAD had anorexia she needed a hospital asap! Seriously that doc needs their license to practice reevaluated
I always swear to myself that this will be the last one, because even if the story is interesting, the cringy editing makes it sooo hard to get to the end of the video.... but every time it shows on my recommended, I watch it, and swear it will be the last one...
@Carralié Alice Whitewood Gurl I feel you. I thought that I would not be among those women who tell people the age of their child in months but here I am..
Carralié Alice Whitewood when a child is that young it makes more sense to measure their age in months and not years. there is a massive developmental difference between a 1 year old and a 2 year old. seriously, do you not think people use months for a reason?? its more logical that way. get over it.
@Baked Beans On Toast you clearly don’t have children. It totally makes more sense to use months than years on young children as it’s a huge difference in development between a 1 and a 2 year old
I'm honest to god not surprised about the anorexia diagnosis Samantha got. It happens a lot with young women and it's really poor behaviour from doctors.
ClockworkFreya im guessing they think that because young girls lie and make it seem like they are not intentionally starving themselves when they are so when someone is being serious the doctor doesn’t believe her
I got this diagnosis more times than I can count when I have been that skinny all my life. Going to a new doctor is always a pain in the butt and I have to work hard to make them actually believe me that I don't have an eating disorder, my thyroid was tested at least 8 times in the last 26 years of my life and are more than fine too and I really am in pain or have some other issue. Thankfully I now have some actually good doctors and just try to stay away from changing my doctors as much as I can. My current general doctor actually listens to me because he got to know me and knows that I wouldn't come to him if I didn't have any problem at all. He diagnosed me with my hip dysplasia and figured out that I have extremely high cortisol levels.
Why is this so dramatized? Honestly its not only off-putting but also incredibly inappropriate for the subject matter - seemingly treating early puberty as though its a death sentence smh
Thank youuuu, I was thinking the exact same thing. Granted my mom was overdramatic when I got my period at 12, she started crying, got overdramatic and apparently was doing so because I'd turn out short. I'm 34 and only 5'2, the upside is I look younger than I actually am.
Iamnotalamp 'early puberty' for god's sake she was 3! and they said she had cancer. they didn't say "she has cancer so that means she is gunna die" no he said "to me cancer felt like a death sentence"
Angi Shallita I’m very confused... I had my permission at 11... and I’m average 5”6 at age 20. My cousin started her period at 3 months old and she is 5”2.... by your logic she should be the same size as a 3 month old, but she’s 30
Because, as the docu explained, it wasn't only early puberty. At the start the doctors thought it was cancer, she had to have surgery at the age of 3. Even when they found out it wasnt cancer, her genetic condition which caused the early puberty also made her have fragile bones to the extent that if she fell over she would break, and gene abormalities leading towards malformed bones making it painful to do some normal things. Yeah, american documentaries are way over dramatised and strange, but I don't see how the drama is inappropriate for the subject matter.
I'm so surprised they didn't keep Samantha in hospital when she had the heart problems, and told her she was way too thin. They should have kept her in and then they would have seen the struggles she was having!
The girl in the second story pretty much saved her own life by doing research and asking for the right x-ray. The doctors should have been way more thorough
@@sabserab saying that doctors are stupid is very unfair to those doctors who do their job well. Of course, some of them are probably not competent or emphatic enough to do such job, but majority of them are. Unfortunately there are, and there will always be, unusual cases in which diagnosing patient is not easy at all, even with years of education and experiance
I solved the eye blink thingy. If they are talking about something negative, the eyes closed. If they are talking about something positive, the eyes are wide open.
wow that doctor samantha saw should be fired. she was told about the severe pain and the doctor still told her its just anorexia and she needs to force herself to eat. disgusting
You have no idea just how much this happens. Both for people especially women who are under weight and who are overweight. They just see it as a problem with food.
When I was 10 I had a infection which caused neurological damage... first 2 months I was told it was constipation then next year it was supposedly anorexia. I couldn’t walk, talk eat or drink but they still were adamant it was anorexia. Sadly it’s common for drs to misdiagnose rare illness and refuse to change their mind. I hope people can just eventually learn to be a bit more open minded and determined to find the real truth.
Ok so I wrote that message before watching but now I've watched it it's crazy how identical our stories are at the start... Diagnosed with gastrointestinal issues... Severe stomach pain... Fear of food... Weight loss... Anorexia diagnosis... Disbelief... Inability to walk... Hospitalisation... Barium test... (All in that order also) bit freaky tbh
I don’t blame them, usually if there are issues surrounding periods no one wants to say what it is, I sympathise because having a traumatic experience as well even the word makes you panic it brings back awful memories that you don’t want to relive
... and so badly scripted. Don't watch too many of these or you'll notice how many of these folks say exactly the same thing, over and over and over ...
@Renn well you a bag of buns hug ze hptdoga and say shorry (don take seriously im half asleep and i have school tommorow and in saying weird stuff wgy am i explaining myself)
Got my period at nearly 17 years old, yeah I was a late bloomer ahahah and to be honest, when I saw the other girls in my school going through their periods I was glad mine hadn’t started, felt like I was dodging a bullet 😂
So, Samantha, did you sue that ignorant doctor who misdiagnosed you with Anorexia? I hate the thought of doctors not believing their patients. Yeah, sure, some patients *do* lie, but there are also many of us who just want to stay alive. Things are not always what they appear to be. Glad you made it out alive! You should be proud of saving yourself by doing the research doctors wouldn't do!
I'm pretty sure if it was anorexia, she wouldn't have wanted any help from the beginning. Also, the fact that she was worried about her weight going DOWN and not UP sbould confirm that it was everything but anorexia or in fact, any eating disorder related to weight loss in general. 😅😅😅
The IBS was even worse diagnosis. The symptom is exactly upper abdominal pain and they suspect IBS which involves large intestine? They didn't even bother to do gastroscopy of upper digestive tract.
I have a big birthmark on my back in the shape of a comma lol Like yea it led to the diagnosis but on its own a birthmark means nothing it was such a dumb bit
Man: "Vaginal bleeding" Woman: "Um... bleeding where she was bleeding." Mate!! A guy can say it but a woman can't!? Sound it out with me, mama. VA-GI-NA!!

The problem with underweight patients is "Refeeding syndrom". If a malnurished person gets high dose of fluids/nutrients their organs will shut off.
But they can start with very little calories, not just send her home to starve. Anorexic patients getting that too.....

Why is this so dramatized? Honestly its not only off-putting but also incredibly inappropriate for the subject matter - seemingly treating early puberty as though its a death sentence smh
Thank youuuu, I was thinking the exact same thing. Granted my mom was overdramatic when I got my period at 12, she started crying, got overdramatic and apparently was doing so because I'd turn out short. I'm 34 and only 5'2, the upside is I look younger than I actually am.
Iamnotalamp 'early puberty' for god's sake she was 3! and they said she had cancer. they didn't say "she has cancer so that means she is gunna die" no he said "to me cancer felt like a death sentence"
Angi Shallita I’m very confused... I had my permission at 11... and I’m average 5”6 at age 20. My cousin started her period at 3 months old and she is 5”2.... by your logic she should be the same size as a 3 month old, but she’s 30
OHHHH, I might have replied to the wrong person, ahahaha I'm so sorry. But yeah early puberty is not a death sentence whatsoever.
Because, as the docu explained, it wasn't only early puberty. At the start the doctors thought it was cancer, she had to have surgery at the age of 3. Even when they found out it wasnt cancer, her genetic condition which caused the early puberty also made her have fragile bones to the extent that if she fell over she would break, and gene abormalities leading towards malformed bones making it painful to do some normal things. Yeah, american documentaries are way over dramatised and strange, but I don't see how the drama is inappropriate for the subject matter.
I'm so surprised they didn't keep Samantha in hospital when she had the heart problems, and told her she was way too thin. They should have kept her in and then they would have seen the struggles she was having!
Thank you!! Someone finally gets it
I love the first girl's parents, they are so loving and wonderful.
Edit: The second parent was also so caring and amazing, aw.
The girl in the second story pretty much saved her own life by doing research and asking for the right x-ray.
The doctors should have been way more thorough
Doctors are stupid. Took me 31 years for the right diagnosis.
@@sabserab saying that doctors are stupid is very unfair to those doctors who do their job well. Of course, some of them are probably not competent or emphatic enough to do such job, but majority of them are. Unfortunately there are, and there will always be, unusual cases in which diagnosing patient is not easy at all, even with years of education and experiance
@@sabserab don't generalize please,
Srsly trying to get medical care as a woman with pain is nearly impossible
I like how Samantha has to diagnose herself before a doctor takes proper notice :/
She literally saved her own life.
I swear that the comments are more interesting than the video itself😂
Ikr
That's what I was going to say😂
That is sooooo true 😂 I’m reading the comments more than watching the video
Ikr
Yeah Yeah girl😍 you're right 😜😜😚
I solved the eye blink thingy.
If they are talking about something negative, the eyes closed.
If they are talking about something positive, the eyes are wide open.
Cracking the code 😂
😂
15 mins in & the editor should be fired. The over use of the shot of the mother closing her eyes with a dramatic thud sound is becoming laughable.
AS I WAS READING THIS COMMENT THE MOTHER CLOSED HER EYES AND THERE WAS A DRAMATIC THUD SOUND
IM LAUGHING SO MUCH OMG
@@personanon9772 omg same HAHAHAHA
WheeZe
the way you expressed the sound as "thud!" 😁 epic! 👌
Almost all the comments are about those Dramatic blinks lol
Freya Bennett ikr counting this comment and the random comments *BOB ADD HER TO THE LIST*

wow that doctor samantha saw should be fired. she was told about the severe pain and the doctor still told her its just anorexia and she needs to force herself to eat. disgusting
You have no idea just how much this happens. Both for people especially women who are under weight and who are overweight. They just see it as a problem with food.
When I was 10 I had a infection which caused neurological damage... first 2 months I was told it was constipation then next year it was supposedly anorexia. I couldn’t walk, talk eat or drink but they still were adamant it was anorexia. Sadly it’s common for drs to misdiagnose rare illness and refuse to change their mind. I hope people can just eventually learn to be a bit more open minded and determined to find the real truth.
Ok so I wrote that message before watching but now I've watched it it's crazy how identical our stories are at the start... Diagnosed with gastrointestinal issues... Severe stomach pain... Fear of food... Weight loss... Anorexia diagnosis... Disbelief... Inability to walk... Hospitalisation... Barium test... (All in that order also) bit freaky tbh
Bob Eighteen it probably happens to quite a few people but they dont do anything after being told its anorexia
A Salty Fry Yeh :/ sometimes some Drs stop after the easiest diagnosis and don’t look further to cover all symptoms
A friend: did you study for the test?
Me: what test? **Dramatically blinks**
Pffffthahahahahaha
XDDDDDDD
Hahahahaha
Oh damn that’s a lot of likes
U copied the dramatically blinks uff
Is it just me who noticed they hated the word period?? No just me? 😂😂
“Bleeding from um, that place” like is she scared to use the term menstruating
yup lol
They were describing that moment when she first bled; they didn’t know at that point that it was a period.
I don’t blame them, usually if there are issues surrounding periods no one wants to say what it is, I sympathise because having a traumatic experience as well even the word makes you panic it brings back awful memories that you don’t want to relive
Nah me too
love how all the doctors couldn't diagnose her but when she did research, it only took her 3 days
She saved her own life!
"she had a birthmark..." *dramatically blinks*
Khaki Diamond
Ikr
"Unusual feature" lol what? Pretty much everyone in my school has some kind of birthmark XD
‘Has an actual eye on her actual head’ *dramatic blink*
Copied...
MonsterPlayz does it matter? No
i have two different tone birthmarks on the same leg... -dramatically blinks-
All I can see after reading the comments is the dramatic blinking.. screw you guys 😂😂
"DRAMATIC BLINKING!!!!"
*blinks dramatically*
The blinks are eyeconic
😂😂👌👌👍👍
That was sooo smooth
I'm 69 like
I hate you
Unpopular Talk 😂 lmaooo
This is so awkward to make them act in their own story. 😅
Exactly!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
... and so badly scripted. Don't watch too many of these or you'll notice how many of these folks say exactly the same thing, over and over and over ...
This number is how many time they used a clip of someone blinking with dramatic music
⬇️
I'm confused......are the interviewers telling them to blink like that on cue or......? I can't 😂😂
lol exactly 😂
lmao ikr its so annoying
XD
We all do that when we are deep in a conversation,trust me
Baby Blue 😂
that eye closing thing just makes this a comedy show
Agreed
Im laughing so hard
Same lmao 😂
It's every friggin seccond 😂
Ok but why is no one talking about how the video says "Alyssa" but the description reads "Elissa"
Does that even matter here ?
I mean, they could have forgotten how to spell the name. There are many spellings of that name anyway
Didn't notice blinking until after 5 minutes. Now I'm doing it with them involuntarily. Dammit.
😂
Am I the only one who isn't bothered by the dramatic blinking?
Milly's Gacha Stories I didnt even notice the blinking
Same here. Was very engrossed with the docu..
Milly's Gacha Stories lol didn’t notice it until I went to the comments 😂
Milly's Gacha Stories no XD
Me neither 😂
3 years old!!
*WTF YOU POOR THING!!*
@Renn well you a bag of buns hug ze hptdoga and say shorry (don take seriously im half asleep and i have school tommorow and in saying weird stuff wgy am i explaining myself)
I think your the only comment not about blinking😂
Got my period at nearly 17 years old, yeah I was a late bloomer ahahah and to be honest, when I saw the other girls in my school going through their periods I was glad mine hadn’t started, felt like I was dodging a bullet 😂
Jesus christ 17? Luckyyyyy i got mine at 12
I got mine at 11 😫
I was 12 nearly 13 when I got mine, I remember it well haha
@@SabrinaAlleyne same here, but i have friends who got theirs even earlier
I got mine at 9 lol
I know this is a sad topic and it must have been awful to go through this, but I cant take them seriously when they’re blinking so dramatically
IKR I feel bad for laughing 😭
@@sirenz11 same. I started laughing when I read that comment.
When they blink YOU KNOW IT'S SERIOUS
The blinks are so eyeronic 😂😂😂
No....ok
wassa good one bud
Eye know right?!
"Eyeronic" - congratulations, you win today's internet!😂
Nah boo that was a good one
Eye should have seen that coming👁👁
Whoever the director is, stop with the blinking! It's a story about a sick child. We know the parents are concerned.
The dad sounds so monotone when he says: how does this happen? Why does this happen?
And it sounds like he doesn't know what it's all about lol
Probs because he isnt a Professional actor
So, Samantha, did you sue that ignorant doctor who misdiagnosed you with Anorexia?
I hate the thought of doctors not believing their patients. Yeah, sure, some patients *do* lie, but there are also many of us who just want to stay alive. Things are not always what they appear to be. Glad you made it out alive! You should be proud of saving yourself by doing the research doctors wouldn't do!
Agreee with you
I'm pretty sure if it was anorexia, she wouldn't have wanted any help from the beginning. Also, the fact that she was worried about her weight going DOWN and not UP sbould confirm that it was everything but anorexia or in fact, any eating disorder related to weight loss in general. 😅😅😅
The IBS was even worse diagnosis. The symptom is exactly upper abdominal pain and they suspect IBS which involves large intestine? They didn't even bother to do gastroscopy of upper digestive tract.

SHE HAD A BIRTHMARK EVERYBODY SOUND THE ALARMS!!!!!🤷🏻♀️☕️☕️☕️
I have a birthmark-
@@meg-l4f I have one too, it litterally doesn't mean anything unless you have the other symptoms 😑
I have a birthmark on my belly
If the birthmark is that light brown to slightly darker brown spots that looks like a coffee stain, then you might have mcune-albright.
I have a big birthmark on my back in the shape of a comma lol
Like yea it led to the diagnosis but on its own a birthmark means nothing it was such a dumb bit
"Then suddenly at 20 months old"
Me: *blinking rapidly and dramatically* "How old is 20 months?!?!?!"
Just do the math. It's more like a scientific term
600 days
I SAID 1 HOUR 😂
I year 8 months
Work it out
The blinking and the acting is so cringe I love it

O.O U.U
"café au lait skin spots" that's a very specific spot shade.
Spots of that colour are common in several syndromes.
Sounds fancier than port wine stain, which also sounds very specific.
It sounds fancy until you translate it: coffee with milk colored spots 👉🏻👉🏻
I have a ‘coffee stain’ birthmark, they just wanted a fancier name 😂

It happens - we went through 5 doctors before my daughter's issue was diagnosed because we (mostly my wife) wouldn't accept what we were being told.
