Tanya Angus Acromegaly Disorder - She has the same disorder that causes you to grow, grow, and grow more. Acromegaly is the same disorder that made Wrestler Andre the Giant, extremely giant. Richard Kiel, a famous actor who played in the Jaws and a few James Bond films also has the disorder.
When she was younger, Tanya Angus was like everyone else. She didn't have any physical problem, and there were certainly no signs that she was getting larger. Before age 20, Tanya Angus was 5'11" (5-foot-11) weighing at 115 pounds. Today, at the age of 30, Tanya Angus is 6'6" (6-foot-6) 480 pounds.
MSNBC recently pulled up a quote from an interview Tanya was recently in. Here's what she had to say, "I look in the mirror; I don’t see me." According to her mother, Tanya Angus was perfectly "normal" when she was growing up.

I am really touched by Tanya's story. She is so courageous. She is a beautiful woman. I wish there was something I could do to help!
Tanyas story is so moving.I wish I could help out!!
I just wanted Tanya to know that we who have heard your story are out here, and we commend you for your bravery, strength, and beauty. Even though we can't begin to imagine what you must endure on a day to day basis we want you to know you are in our prayers. We will be out here, and we will keep routing for you!!
It's wonderful to read the caring and compassionate comments I've seen on the Internet (the ignorant, insensitive ones I ignore). Tanya is in the hospital. You can learn more and keep updated at her new official website (which is still under construction): http://www.TanyaAngus.com We'll be set up to accept donations very soon.
