Motor neuron disease.

Biggins · 22-06-2012 01:15AM

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.

ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease I think is what you're looking for.

Is it locked in syndrome that can be caused from a stroke?

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 · 22-06-2012 01:25AM

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 · 22-06-2012 01:29AM

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 · 22-06-2012 01:31AM

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.

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.

Worst disease you can have?
