Clair Sylvia (above) underwent a heart-lung transplant in 1988. The donor was a 18-year old who died in a motorcycle accident. After recovering from the operation, she was surprised to find she was experiencing strange cravings. She even told a friend, "I'm dying for a beer." Before the transplant, she never liked beer.
Clair also developed a sudden fondness for foods she didn't like before. She says, "Even my personality was becoming masculine. My teenage daughter told me that I walked differently, like a muscle bound football player." Clair says she remained a heterosexual and attracted men but she began acting differently with women. She even became friendly with an attractive blonde who suggested they have a lesbian relationship. Clair declined but wondered what kind of signals she had been sending out."
