Fatal Familial Insomnia Explained

Can you imagine never being able to sleep again? That is exactly what happens to patients with Fatal Familial Insomnia. This rare genetic disorder leads to progressive neurodegeneration in the brain, ultimately stopping patients from sleeping ever again. Even though they may look like they are asleep, their brain is really awake! From when symptoms begin, patients have approximately one year to live, before their body breaks down to the point of no return. Link to infographic: https://www.instagram.com/demystifyin...
