Woman grows nails instead of hair

A young woman in Memphis, Shanyna Isom, began producing nails instead of hair after an allergic reaction to steroids back in 2009.  This doesn't only affect the hair on her head, but the hair all over her body.  As such, she now needs others to help her move around and even with 25 different medications to help control the condition, can only walk with a cane.  She has consulted doctors all over the country and even one in the Netherlands, but none of them have been able to diagnose her.  It is a true medical mystery.
