Unknown Disease Causes Woman's Legs to Grow Meteorically (and you thought the Freshman 15 was bad...)

Worried about gaining the Freshman 15? Don't be: an expanding waist line pales in comparison to the struggle of Mandy Sellars, who suffers an unknown disease akin to Proteus Syndrome due to leg expansion.
Alright, so maybe when you entered college you gained the dreaded freshman fifteen. Well that’s as innocuous as getting a pimple next to the struggle of Mandy Sellars, a British woman suffering from an undiagnosed disease which has caused her legs to expand so much that they currently weigh about 210 pounds. Doctors believe her disease may be related to Proteus Syndrome, the condition made famous by the Elephant Man.
