Lethal prion disease: This is the sporadic form (assuming first case in the family) of prion disease, caused by toxic, self-replicating proteins. The steady loss of mental function is usually accompanied by occasional jerky abnormal movements. No effective treatment is known; you may be able to find a research study. I wish you strength and courage in the months ahead.
