Fatal Familial Insomnia
i think i have this b/c i have spells where i can’t sleep!!!! i took 15mg of remeron and a 0.5 klonopin and still kept waking up! maybe michael jackson had this!!!
try melatonin or pot
People with FFI are fucking lazy
”omg please bring me cookies because i am to tired to get them”
lazy fuck get em yourself
i really dont understand all these people deeming the sisters (or any others with the disease) slefish for having kids. and in reference to an earlier comment, they dont condemn their kids to a life of suffering. what a damn stupid remark. i feel more sorry for kids who grow up being abused then kids with a possibility of the diease.. like breast cancer had inheritable factors, as do other genetic diseases.. everyone dies at some point and you can still have a happy normal life regardless
This seems like a very torturous way to die. My heart goes out to all those who have FFI,and their families.
Obviously you should find out whether or not you have it so that you can decide whether or not you want to have children, if you don’t want to pass it on, or to know if you’d need to screen the fetuses for the disease (if that kind of stuff is OK with you).
this is so cruel . god bless them ._.
I REALLY don’t meant to be mean or anything but…
LMFAO at the “hints”! XD Obviously, you’d KNOW to put a VCR in first. XD
But, on a serious note…I hope there’ll be a treatment.
Fatal Familial Insomnia – extremely fascinating stuff!
In my mind, the only way to die in a more painful way would be rabies …
… but if the format of this show and the presenter isn’t the douchiest thing I’ve ever seen! This looked like a bleeding game-show – surprised they didn’t hand out microwave ovens …
@killyoubitch27 Good thing someone in the Youtube comments knows how to cure a disease no doctor in the world knows.

@killyoubitch27 You don’t think they’ve tried that? How much dumber do you think everyone is than you?
i know this is far fetched but can’t they knock the victim out with an object or trigger a sleeping pressure point in the temple? there must be something!
I feel sorry for these guys
@airmaxltd94 Unconsciousness isn’t the same as sleep. Believe me, if it was as easy as just rendering someone unconscious I’m sure they would have already thought of it. As it is they’ve tried sleep medications, heavy doses of barbituates, placing the person in an artificial (medically induced) coma, general anaesthesia, and probably more. Nothing has worked, or helped. Currently there is no known treatment, or cure for this disease, and so far Gene Therapy hasn’t proven effective either. Sad.
@killyoubitch27 Painkillers or any other kind of sleep-inducing substances don’t work because in FFI the part of the brain which controls sleep is literally being destroyed by the prions (malignant proteins) and there’s no known way to stop the process. This is not like a common insomnia. All prion diseases are so far incurable and ultimately fatal.
@airmaxltd94 Nothing can replace natural sleep. A faint or a coma-state have not the same functions of sleep. Even hibernating animals must wake up sometimes to sleep for some hours before resuming hibernation (they don’t actually sleep when they are hibernating, though they remain unconscious).
If I had this disease I would contact some media head honcho and convince him of doing a reality TV show of my last days.
@ninjajesus81 God dam your a faggot why don’t you go play dungeons and dragons you fuckin loser or whenever you losers do for fun. It must suck to have never been with a woman before.
@killyoubitch27 You said something stupid, now you’re mad that I pointed it out.
@ninjajesus81 Are you a sleeping expert? Most people aren’t and just because you know a little bit about this disease doesn’t mean you should insult people that know nothing about it. You little prick.
@killyoubitch27 I should when they say stupid things.
If I knew I had this ID CHECK OUT ON MY OWN.
It’s fascinating and scary at the same time !
Agree with you, why would she have children knowing they have strong chances to inherit the fatal disorder ..you do know that a child has big chances to inherit the genes from grandparents directly.. Both my parents have brown eyes, me and my brother we have both blue eyes like my grandfather …
