Fatal insomnia, it’s caused by a mutation in the PRNP gene, which are the prions in your brain that bind to help respond to nervous sensory cues

I’ve had to say this before about this disease, cause it can come across scary to those with health anxiety so I’m happy to say it again. fatal familial insomnia (the disease talked about in this video) is where it attacks the part of your brain which controls sleep also known as the thalamus which means over time that person can loose the ability to sleep at all which can cause death cause it causes the brain and body to shut down. It starts with worsening insomnia and sleep becoming impossible, then increased anxiety, panic and start of hallucinations, then memory problems and confusion, loss of coordination and movement issues, then complete inability to sleep and then death. But it is extremely and I mean extremely rare, most doctors don’t even see a case in their entire career, it can come across as not that rare to some people when talked about online. if you have insomnia yourself dont worry because this doesn’t trigger fatal familial insomnia at all. It’s caused by a genetic mutation in the PRNP gene. ❤️

true I stayed up days without realizing I couldn’t sleep. once I realized I couldn’t sleep I started imagining phantom pain that wasn’t there assuming there was bugs in my skin. I was 17 years old working long hours n binge watched YouTube as a coping mechanism because of my mom screaming at me for no apparent reason

Genuine question, is it possible to safe the patient by making them fall asleep with medication? Or does the body just refuse everything?
