Favorite worst diseases ever

  Quote

Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a very rare autosomal dominant inherited prion disease of the brain.

  Quote

The disease's genesis and the patient's progression into complete sleeplessness is untreatable and ultimately fatal.

  Quote

The disease has four stages, taking 7 to 18 months to run its course:

 

1. The patient suffers increasing insomnia, resulting in panic attacks, paranoia, and phobias. This stage lasts for about four months.

2. Hallucinations and panic attacks become noticeable, continuing for about five months.

3. Complete inability to sleep is followed by rapid loss of weight. This lasts for about three months.

4. Dementia, during which the patient becomes unresponsive or mute over the course of six months. This is the final progression of

the disease and the patient will subsequently die.

No.

Fun.

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva

  Quote

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare disease of the connective tissue. A mutation of the body's repair mechanism causes fibrous tissue (including muscle, tendon, and ligament) to be ossified when damaged. In many cases, injuries can cause joints to become permanently frozen in place. Surgical removal of the extra bone growths has been shown to cause the body to "repair" the affected area with more bone.

Nodding disease

  Quote

When a child is affected by it, his/her growth appears to be completely and permanently stunted. The growth of the brain is also stunted, leading to mental retardation of the victim. The disease is named nodding disease since it causes pathological nodding. This is a seizure which begins when the victim begins to eat food, or when he/she feels cold. As soon as either of these conditions is met, the afflicted will immediately begin to nod. These seizures are brief and halt after the child stops eating or when they feel warm again. However, this symptom is very unusual as the victims don't appear to suffer from seizures when they are given an unfamiliar food, for example a candy bar. The seizures can be severe and cause the child to collapse, leading to further injury.

unexpected but genuine lol at yeggs boners post.
