Imarni Chowdhury, 11, suffers from interstitial cystitis - a chronic disorder caused by deficiencies in the lining of the bladder
A girl who feels constant pain 'like having third degree burns' said she does not want to live to her next birthday.
Imarni Chowdhury, 11, suffers from interstitial cystitis - an incurable chronic disorder caused by deficiencies in the lining of the bladder.
The youngster, who also has epilepsy and narcolepsy, takes heavy doses of painkillers to deal with her condition as even passing urine can be excruciating.
Her father, Rahman Chowdhury, said she has 'not had a childhood' due to the extent of her pain.
He said: 'She has not had a childhood. People have no idea the extent of the pain. It is like having third degree burns or Stage Four cancer.
'When I asked her what she wanted for her birthday next week, she said she just wants to die.
'She is so poorly, she has missed a lot of her school classes. We can't do much as a family because we have to be beside Imarni constantly. All she can do is sit and watch cartoons on TV to take her mind off it.
'She suffers from epilepsy and narcolepsy. She used to love dancing and swimming and riding her scooter and it is hard for her to see her siblings jumping into a hot-tub or out riding on their bikes.'
