Guest guest Posted November 16, 1998 Report Share Posted November 16, 1998 I,m not sure who you are since there was no name along with your e-mail. But I would like to warn you as to what you say about CJD. I know you didn't mean to cause anyone distress but there are lots of people in many different situations involved with the voice. I happen to have a family history of CJD that lasts a very long time from onset. My dad lived over 12 yrs. and my aunt 15. I am at the start of the disease myself and have had it over a year now. The changes I have already experienced are very upsetting and frightening and having lived with my dad through the entire time he was ill, I know what lies ahead for me and my family. There are many times I feel that death now would spare my family great suffering, but since they have never witnessed the disease first hand they assure me all the time they cane handle whatever comes up. We all know they can't and will never get over what they will see, but I know that since they would never understand that my taking my life was not for selfish reasons but to spare them the horror of the future, they wold never forgive me. So please be careful as to what you say as I'm sure I'm not alone out here in trying to deal with the reality of this horrible disease.
