I went to secondary school with Harry, he was in the year below me. He always seemed really happy, he had a close group of friends who would chat and laugh in the canteen like any other teenager. He fitted in really well at school and everyone just accepted him as another normal teenage boy. It was really nice to see
Lies
@@manufan1044 why did you say lies
@@manufan1044he is jaleous that he diden’t went to school with him. Hate when people write stuff like that. I have seen so many one You Tube do the same when someone write that they now the person they are talking abouth. Me grammer and spelling is so bad it’s so bad because I am Norwegian🇳🇴😀😀☺️. One of the oil country☺️☺️☺️
The second case is unbelievable. She is studying to become a nurse, she realizes that there's something wrong with her esophagus or/and stomach, her husband is a paramedic and they have both visited the same idiot family doctor 200 times about her severe stomach issues...but still no one is thinking about endoscopy?! This is SO weird!
It is sad that when people hear of one will have to undergo surgery that's when they seek second opinion... I too I'm surprised why they didn't go to another doctor or even use internet to such for answers or close clues from other doctors in other countries! You know what I mean??
@@princessjd24 Yes, I was thinking the same thing!
They seem to be very dumb... achalasia is not that hard to diagnose - I have it, my esophogus had to be dilated... but I found out very quickly as I asked for a gastro asap - an endoscopy showed it right away... Today they treat it with botox, but in my case, they dilated it... no big deal...
@@MartaRC32 I' m sorry to hear that :/ I hope you're better now
SophiaSonia1987 I thought the same like go else where, that doctor was clearly trying to make money smh
Harry is 21 now and appears to be doing well!
Thank you informing us😭😭😭😭❤️👑I'm so happy
Hannah I’m very happy to hear this. Thanks so much. ❤️❤️❤️
Harry’s our hero!
Really? That’s amazing! Thank you for that update.
That’s great to hear! 😃
I wish I could just hug Harry and say everything is going to be ok
Me to
@ Stop spamming, please.
This boy is just so inspiring and beautiful. And the love of his family for him is radiating. People like them make me smile and make me understand a little more about life.
What a champ and so bright and cheery, he's an example to us all, his attitude will affect everyone he meets for the better.
"We love Harry for who Harry is" 💙💙😭
Been told that (it is all in ur head).. I ended up telling the doctor no it is in ur own head.. They make you doupt ur own body! Ur own mental health!
Sometimes that's so extreme it qualifies as gaslighting, I have experienced that from a doctor. I've had breathing problems and asthma since I was a baby. I had allergic pneumonia, and almost died when I was still a baby.
I went to a doctor that was trying to convince me I was not asthmatic, that I had anxiety, not breathing issues, until I nearly died, the tests were SCREAMING with all positives for many allergies and asthma.
Later on when it almost died, He apologized to me. For changing my medication dosage.
Listen to your body and think of your history.
the thing is, saying "it's all in your head" still shouldn't mean they don't treat you. A lot of people who *do* 'imagine' their symptoms are often suffering from something else and their body is sending haywire signals. Some doctors are absolute diamonds, and others are embarassments to their profession
Joey Sal where’s the proof idiot
@@WELLINGTON20 idiot why do I need to give you a proof☺️💁♀️
Joey Sal you must be the idiot if you can’t simply give me proof
I feel very proud of Dr.Abhimanyu….who is from my country India✌️🇮🇳
Sadie - I'm no doctor but even I could have told you it was a gastric issue. I'm just SHOCKED it took a few doctors and so long to get to the diagnosis. Wow
don't know how I got here but so glad I met Harry ! ❤
I wish I lived near him so I could be his friend and tell the bullies that he is just the same as everyone else
It makes me so anger when a doctor says "It's just stress" and dismiss physical evidence. O experience for myself several times so I developed two killing sayings:
1- You know about medice, I know about my body, if I'm telling you something it's wrong, believeme.
2- You're a physitian not a psychologist, it's illegal and unethical you "diagnose" stress. If you think I'm having mental health problems you have to referme in writing to a specialist in the field for treatment. If I were having heart problems I wouldn't assume you want play be a cardiologist with me. Why do you feel entitled to be a pop up Freud?
3- In some countries there is a Pacients Rights Law that protect us against paternalistic behaviors from health professionals. If you feel you aren't make yourself heard ask a lawyer what are your options.
I'm astonished that Harry was taken so long to be diagnosed, especially since I know that a key paediatrician in our area has come across at least one other case. I can't say any more than that, but I'm absolutely astonished.
Typical is still diffrent from A-typical that confuses the 1st doctor. If u noticed he did few genetic test that comes out negative because its A-typical progeria.
I am shocked that her GP did not sent her for gastro test sooner.
My GP didnt send me for an endoscopy for about a 6 months after my pain started. Only just had my endoscopy there 6 days ago. Anxiously awaiting the pathology results.
It's crazy. I am no doctor at all but when her complaint was clearly digestive-system related, you need to examine the digestive system to see what's up. Saw the same GP over and over until he had an epiphany that would occur immediately to the GP's I know.
My first thought for her was Barrett’s Oesophagus. But the first thing they should have done is a gastroscopy! What that doctor did was a gastroscopy, NOT an endoscopy! An endoscopy is for the other part of the digestive tract, even if the instrument is called an endoscope!
He should have been fired
Harry is so optimistic when others would've whined and complained. Such a great attitude he has , bless his soul :)
it's weird that no doctor at least recognized harry had some sort of progeria. i immediately thought of it, when i saw him. i guess this series is old and maybe back then it wasn't as well-known. i don't know, though.
edit: thinking about it again, i realise it's probably just the dramatic way this show is produced. i guess doctors probably had some clue as to what harry's condition might be, even if they couldn't get to the final conclusion, but it was portrayed differently here so there'd be more tension.
only 30 patients recorded in the literature and every sufferer is different? Sounds like a tough one, but genticis in particular have a responsibility to be very well read and connected within the genetics community for this exact reason.
It looked very much like progeria to me too.
December 17 2019.. it's uploaded..
You are no professional lady... no doctors diagnose just by looking at someone. They are required to run many tests to prevent misdiagnosis. Easy to “Immediately“say in front of your computer screen.
@@abantiratha5386 The boy concerned is now 20 years old, so this was filmed in about 2010.
So the first woman really broke up a relationship and was proud about it? Am I missing something?!
Lilly Dors I was wondering the same
Yah. But don't focus on that
In fact she was 15 when she made the decision to get him no matter what!!!
I was looking for comments about this,cause I was thinking the exact same thing.
I think I missed something 😂
What a mature little boy. He's so bright, even for what's going on.
Beautiful boy...Harry, you're a trooper 💜💜💜
Prayed for Harry while watching this. Keep fighting and don't let this disease let you down. You are loved by different people all around the world ♥️❤️♥️❤️
I recently lost my lil sister with mysterious diseases ......she visited different doctors but no one identified the disease but they gave her unrelated medicine which caused allergy on her skin.....when we ask the doctors they told us it would be infectious disease but they are not sure at all we went to many hospitals but one thing they told us is nothing is wrong with her ....some of them gave her different medicine but she couldn’t get any relief.....after 4 years finally she passed last month ... I wish I knew the disease ....I know it’s pain when it is such mysterious disease only you and your family can understand it
So sorry!
what a delightful little boy
So his gf was just an obsticle to you? Wait till you become the "obsticle", then you'll realise how mean you were. Wish your boy the best, hope he live a happy life.
don't keep on going to your GP if he has no idea!for a specialist most cases are no mysteries at all
kinktinky get a new gp if they are so dismissive and condescending
kinktinky yeah you have to get a new gp in some countires as majority of specialists will not allow you go to directly without referral from gp
Harry is an incredible, delightful bright young boy with personality plus.
And his family are amazing and so loving
Grandma teared me up when she said she wouldn't change Harry
Wish him all the best
Can't understand why an Endoscopy wasn't done in the very first place.
Absolutely unforgiveable of the medical professionals.
Wonderful that they had found Dr. Huggins.
All the best for the future guys 🎉🎉
He seems like a fantastic lad.
Some people shouldn’t be allowed to be doctors. When they don’t know the answer they don’t dig deeper, they just say oh it’s psychological… it’s disgusting. Imagine how many people are out there living with an illness that hasn’t been diagnosed because of this negligence, and how many have died from it
The exact same happened to me. Took 2 years for me to be diagnosed with Achalasia!! I lost 5.5 stone in 6 months from not being able to eat or drink! I had a life changing operation when I was 18 to open my oesophagus but will never be cured. I really understand how this lady feels and I am frequently in hospital with indigestion as it feels like a heart attack!
I wonder how John's ex feels watching this.
Id love to be his friend! Much love from Greece Harry!!!
Harry has eyes that melt the heart😍
From what I understand the moment she addressed to an other doctor he immediately found the problem, I m realy amazed why her family did not insisted to proceed in all kind of tests, instead of listening her family doctor who appeared to be dangerous with his advises...
We will 🙏 Pray for your son sir, mam, just keep the faith, ftom the Philippines 🇵🇭
Such an intelligent, kind guy.
Yes Harry, please keep smiling.
What an amazing little boy
He is an adorable boy
I really feel for Les but the love he has for her is honestly wonderful to watch
I think Sadie should find another family gp.
I find these programs very interesting and informative
"Harry is a tough cookie"
I love Harry.He is my hero.
How on earth can someone with such stomach issues not get a second opinion? 🤔
What a wonderful boy, you must be so proud. My thoughts and best wishes to you all.
It’s always important to have second or even third options from different doctors. Not saying that first doctor is bad, it’s just sometimes difficult for doctors to diagnose when the symptoms are rare, so finding a specialist for rare symptoms is what you want to do.
I absolutely agree with you...
You can see a clear difference in the American vs the English people. In the English stories the doctors worked hard and take like a thousend tests. While the American one just tells them they're exaggerating or it's in their head.
Yes. I noticed right in the beginning the doctor explaining he was asking his peers all over the country. Gotta love it!
Indian doctors are way up there...
Tell me about it
But not Indian doctors IN INDIA.
he's so hip ,handsome and amazing. Harry where could I find you
What a lovely boy.💕
My dad and brother both have NF1 and honestly the signs sound correct (freckling under the armpit) but besides that he has no other symptoms with NF.
Progeria is a heartbreaking disease that causes stunted growth in children and a string of severe medical problems. It causes them to age as much as 8 times faster than normal kids, and they often die before the age of 25. But medical intervention is improving the lives of some patients by as much as 18 months.
She was a nurse and thought half a bottle of indigestion remedies is normal?
Yes because medical workers are brainwashed ,and they are sells-man for company called Bigpharma
@@Horses4life1001 please be a troll 💆♀️
@@nicki239 sleep tight :) In your ignorant bliss
Harry was such an innocent boy
The first one is ridiculous, i knew it was some kind of progeria, and I'm not a doctor! How is that a mysery diagnosis? These doctors should be ashamed and stop practicing.
cute kid lovely family .. x wonder how Harry is getting on now x
I knew the first time I saw him he had progeria. Can't believe they could not figure that out in the UK
I agree. As soon as they mentioned his nose and that before it started, I knew it was Progeria
Atittaya Vollebregt true, but to be fair, it was in the early two thousands
@@janedoe6488 And it was atypical
When Harry was taken to the drs the reason it wasn't diagnosed as quickly was because back then it wasn't as well known. It's easy to look at someone now & point out what it is, but only after you've seen other cases. Hindsight 20/20. Drs in US do seem terrible.
Could have gone to a specialist. That GP isn't helping much.
In the uk you cannot go to specialist without GP referral so they just should have gone to another GP.
I 100% agree with Sadie - if a doctor is not listening, and even casting the blame on the patient, move on - find a doctor that takes you seriously!
Harry you are a CHAMPION and an INSPIRATION. LOVE FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA ♥️♥️♥️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I love Harry too.
Judging from the title and thumbnail I'd say he had progiria or something similar
Yh he does have progeria he went to my high school
I feel a little proud :) Only based on the title I thought ”its progreria, right?”
Such a lovely kid😍 lovely Harry 😍
He's so adorable 😍
Harry is such a lovely kid.
A little sweetie is Harry 😃💜🇦🇺
first british people ive seen on this show
If I can hug them and whispers to their ears that everything will be possible
5 minutes into the video.. Progeria.. PROGERIA.. P.R.O.G.E.R.I.A.
Even if it was an atypical type, his features looked so much like the usually look of progeria patients I would have questioned it immediately
I knew stright away it was pogeria
Yeah but that aired 2005. And Harry was born 1999....many doctors mentioned there were from the older Generation and perhaps progeria wasnt taugt in med school back then. Furthermore it is/was soooo rare 30 cases only! also information access and exchange wasnt as advanced as now. You can't always blame the doctors for not pointing out very rare diseases many didnt know back then
WOW.... SUCH AMAZING AMAZING ANGELS OF PARENTS!!!!! harry is an amazing boy!!! i hope he has the best life he possibly can !! you guys are blessed to have him as a son
Have been thinking only African doctors are frustrating. I had a different situation which took me 3 years before one doctor helped and the rest thought I was crazy
Gorgeous little man
Why visit the same doctor again and again who won't take her for serious? I'm really furious.
Sadie and husband must go to another doctor after how many visits and still no help.
Watch the film “Jack” with Robin Williams, you will learn what Harry has, it’s exactly what he has!
Becky Neopolitan which was what
Nat Thebrave It’s called Werner Syndrome, watch the film if you can!
That is a different disorder than Harry's
นิว you obviously haven’t watched the film
Becky Neopolitan Werner's syndrome and atypical progeria are not the same thing... I have watched the movie tho, it actually funny😂
“Nothing could have prepared them for what happened...”
I think the narrator should have said that about seven more times.
“….SHE…..CAN’T….EAT!” 🤬
2nd case like same me... I disturb some times... My heart irrigation beats
Love that little Harry ❤️
What I've learned after watching these videos: Doctors are useless
Not all doctors, but yes indeed. It takes too doctors to get on top of a medical situation because they are very quick to dismiss patients with "It's just stress, it's just part of being a woman, it's just all in your head." Etc.
I must say that so far, most of this I see in America. I do not know about other countries.
It took so long because they kept going to their gp without result and only guess work.
I have neurofibromatosis type 1 and the pictures they show when they are "researching" the condition is most likely type 2 which is rarer than type 1.
Harry is 25 now and doing really well
I hope everyone who criticizes people will faces their karma too.
Harry you sweet boy.
Strange as soon as I saw him as older I thought of Progeria I am happy you are grown up and living your life and I wish you well in all you do x
This first part is the first one of these I’ve found that has British people. Northerners like myself too so this is the first documentary close to home for me.
yeah the gastro enterologist is the right doctor for that.heartburn.
Hiccup is so dangerous... she goes to nursing school, her husband is a paramedic but she looks it up on the internet?!
Why do people not even consider visiting different doctors if there is a health issue and it’s worsening over the time being...?! You have to go to the doctor after the first symptoms immediately!!
Has anyone noticed that Harry is the boy who was friends with Hayley Okines who had progeria
I wonder how Harry is now?
Jane Doe can I have a link plz
Guys if your sick demand tests ect because most doctors jusr want to semd you away with meds... I had a full feeling in my throat and demanded a stomach camera luckily it was only gastritis....
Go on kid.
I wish I could take Harry to the most wonderful place in the world and tell him that he is deeply loved.... I wish I could cure him from his illness...
Ask a shrink what a 'normal ' person you will probably receive as blank stare a shrug or silence.
I am at uni doing biomed and legit learnt about achalasia and was watching like I bet it’s that. It’s not even that rare
Nce to know about two rare disease..esp the achalasia and the type of medication the buttok as a dosage form. i think that kind of buttok ,(sounds)a dosage form of medicines and a way as administiring it knowing its a disease in the esophagus and stomach by injecting..really informative.
Doctors in the US: Keep telling you nothing is wrong, tell you it's all in your head, that you're over-reacting and just to 'learn to live with it'. Oh, what's that...you're dying now? Here, let me give you a referral then. Maybe we'll run some tests and stuff. Maybe.
...
Doctors in the UK: Well, I'm not sure what this is...but maybe someone else knows what it is. He's a referral. Let's start testing stuff right away.

Awwww 😢😭💔
My heart broke!!!
People really need to stop judging and to making fun because of someone looking different!!!!!!!!
What is wrong with you?! 😡😤
Harry you are very handsome little boy😊
