I am Fatal Familial Insomnia, a rare genetic degenerative brain disorder.
I'll gradually slide you into dementia, where along the way you can look forward to panic attacks, paranoia, random muscular jerks and hallucinations coupled with a complete inability to sleep. You'll attempt to pop an Ambien and get over me, but sleeping pills and barbiturates actually worsen the clinical manifestations and hasten my grip... bringing you closer to death.
Finally, 7–18 months later, we'll slip into a mild coma and die together.
