Sunday.....exactly 4 weeks ago......a group of us had dinner, something we'd do every so often. One of the guys noted some eye issues......and some other small annoyances.....but otherwise was fine. By Thursday....he could no longer answer a text. By the next Monday the family was on the way in in the hopes that he'd know them. Sunday.......he was gone. Supposedly only a few people in the US at any one time showing signs. Very hard to imagine how fast it got to a well educated and energetic guy, one who was burning at our place not long ago. Live fast folks.....live fast! www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/creutzfeldt-jakob-disease

I guess the fact that the end came quickly is the only bright spot here. Life with CJD sounds horrible, and not just for the victim. I for one am happy your friend and his family did not have to endure this for longer than a week.

So sad you lost a dear friend. That’s a pretty rare disease. What you and your group of friends experienced is a wake-up call. We all need to cherish our families and friendships.

I'm sorry to hear that. Life is short. Treat those around you and yourself well. I'm relieved it was a very short illness for both he and his family.
