@itsjillianrowe: There’s a prion disease that slowly takes away your brain’s ability to sleep. And then you die. Day 2 of 31 Days of Nope is Fatal Familial Insomnia, and apparently this one is specifically for everyone who informed me yesterday that prions are their greatest fear. Sweet dreams. 💀 #31DaysOfNope #FatalFamilialInsomnia #PrionDisease #WeirdScience #ScienceTok
I am so glad I work at night. the rest of y'all gotta go to sleep thinking about this. I got another like 10 hours to forget I ever heard this.

I always wondered why Michael Jackson used Propofol when it never made me feel rested after surgery.

I’m sorry for the loss of your mother. JCD is insidious. I’m surprised she passed away so quickly after diagnosis. Was she treated for awhile without a diagnosis, or did the onset come that quickly?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Imagine me having my first manic episode, goggling ferociously, and coming across FFI. I tell my psychiatrist this is it, I'm dying and he tells me he's never heard of it. Well, of course he's in on it. That was not fun

Watching this as someone with a none existence sleep schedule whilst I can't sleep (like most nights). Thankfully I don't have any other symptoms and had a normal brain mri this year.

I was wondering when you would talk about FFI! I read about that poor guy years ago and I still think about him every time I have trouble getting to sleep

I'm sure everyone worries about ffi every time they go 36-48+ hours without being able to sleep.
it's scary but thankfully super rare
