Most people can only dream of a life without pain or anxiety, but for one 71-year-old woman in Scotland, that dream is her reality. Jo Cameron only recently found out she has a rare genetic mutation that prevents her from experiencing pain, fear or anxiety. She’s also never needed painkillers after surgery and she told the BBC she didn’t feel pain during childbirth -- even without an epidural. Now scientists believe these mutations prevent Cameron from feeling pain and anxiety and cause her to heal faster, be more positive and be more forgetful. In their analysis, researchers also found Cameron scored low on an anxiety scale.
