Motor neuron disease.

Biggins

Don't know the official name for it but the one that takes away your ability to speak and move completely.
You would be a mind trapped in a endless body cell, unable to communicate.
You could be screaming internally and no one would ever hear you.
Horrendous.

wardy2

floppy mickey disease

policarp

Mad Cow Disease.
The wife gets it once a month every month.

The actress who played Mags in Fair City had it and it's shocking what it does to a sufferer.

Locked in syndrome?
There is a case before the high court over here of a guy looking to get permission for a doctor to do an assisted suicide on him.
I don't know how anybody could live like that, just sitting there only able to move your eyes.

A_Sober_Paddy

Locked In Syndrome and Motor Neuron...

Those two would have to be the worst, you know what's going on in your head but can't do anything.

I'd fully support assisted suicide for these people and would like to think if any member of family had either of those afflictions and which me to help them end their suffering I'd be man enough to do it for them

KKkitty

Even if I had a worst enemy I wouldn't wish motor neuron disease on them.

I read this thread and I thought why the hell doesn't Ireland allow assisted suicides because if I came down with anything sersious, I'd want to die. I mean the option should be available for people.

Capt'n Midnight

Kuru , 100% fatal

Back in 1976 Blumberg and Gajdusek got Noble prizes for showing that a really nasty disease was transmitted by cannibalism, well actually that the body had few defences against it.

A simple feedback loop caused by recycling brains.


It's mad cow disease for humans, 100% fatal and you need to break a few social taboos to catch it.



And if anyone in the food industry had paid attention then mad cow disease and CJD would not have happened.

Thats what family are for,if there any good.


Anyway theres always hope,there was a woman who had locked in syndrome and now shes back to normal,she was talking about it on Victoria Derbyshires show on BBC radio,you can get the podcast.

No. That includes dementia.
...Which to be honest, means you lose your mind.
Sad as it is, for the example I mentioned, maybe a blessing in disguise than have a fully working mind and be trapped within, looking out and unable to do, move or say anything.

I would ask to be released from this world if I became trapped like that.

Cancer.

Cancer isn't really a "disease", there are numerous diseases that come under this heading. And some of them really aren't all that bad, at all.

I think that Alzheimer's is the worst in terms of the pain that it inflicts on loved ones. I've never had a family member or friend suffer Alzheimer's, but it's not something I'd ever wish on my worst enemy.

For actual pain - I'd guess that anything involving bones is the worst. Leukemia, multiple myeloma, etc. Less pain relief available.

I'll never be able to describe the absolute horror and dread I felt when I thought I had it. I really feel for any poor soul that gets it.

Multiple sclerosis. My auntie had it and was heartbreaking to see. It's nearly the same as locked in syndrome in the end.


Ah answer...........shyness

It's a death sentence. No cure just wait and get worse and worse. Euthanasia should be legalised for stuff like that.

Because I've something with similarish symptoms but not fatal. Long story.

Smidge

Motor Neuron, Alzheimers and although someone said it wasn't a disease, cancer.
Have seen people around me die from these 3 things and they were horrendous deaths.

steddyeddy

Huntingtons disease. If your parents have it theres a 50/50 chance that you will have it. Its basically a death sentence.

Is alcoholism hereditary? I'll get myself checked if it is. It's good to know before any symptoms start to show

Yeah I know of it. Its very unlike all the other ones mentioned on here, with motor neuron and locked in...anyone can suffer from them, but Huntington's is quiet rare in comparison
