What medical condition would you hate having the most?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Sure, a lot of serious medical conditions are terrible for different reasons but which scares you the most to think of having for life?

For me, it would be losing my mental faculties so something like dementia would be a bad one to get.

So how about you? Which medical condition would you consider to be the worst to get?

[Nice222]

Watching my Father die from Parkinson disease and slowly deteriorating for 12 years was pretty horrifying. So I would have to say that.

@Nice222

My mom died from it. I used to hold her hands in my hands to give her a break from her shaking.
RIP Mommy 😔

[Nice222]

@sage2021 yeah it was rough he had arthritis too so the shaking caused him a lot of pain as well.

[Nice222]

Thank you!!

[exitseven]

I imagine ALS. You lose all control over your body but your mind still works. You just lie there until you die.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

Huntington's Korea.
It's known to be the worst disease ever!

[Sal_Monella]

chorea.

Well, having a bladder condition isn't as much fun as I prolly make it look but I'd really hate to have zoanthropy:

A rare psychiatric syndrome where a person has the delusional belief that they have transformed into an animal. A specific type is clinical lycanthropy, the belief that one has transformed into a wolf, while other cases can involve a wide range of other animals, such as a cow (boanthropy), a cat, or a chicken.

If I had zoanthropy and believed I was a chicken I know my evil, middle sister would just lock me in the chicken house at nite with the rest of the chickens and she prolly wouldn't even give me any xtra grain.

Try living with Epilepsy. Constantly hurting your brain, breaking bones, not knowing what is what after a seizure. Drugged up on medication that makes you feel sick all-the-time, as well as causing vision problems, memory problems, speech impairment. Loosing your child, loosing your friends, loosing your license, loosing your work, loosing your your independence, loosing your health. Living in fear every day when the next seizure is going to happen and where the next one will turn you into a vegetable. And no cure.

Hey!! I have epilepsy

[Tarifa]

Although dementia would be something I wouldn't want to experience, as the burden is on your immediate relatives, Parkinson ranks high on this list. I've seen what it did to my father and how he went through every stage the doctors had foreseen. Maybe knowing what the outcome will be is the hardest thing, as he was fully conscious.

I think that's true for most people. Some like Robin Williams, diagnosed with Lewy Body disorder, make an early exit. My other fear is having some cancer with a poor prognosis, like pancreatic cancer. In that case I would refuse treatment and take an early exit.

[goaded]

I did not know that about Robin Williams. So it wasn't a temporary problem he chose a permanent solution to. That's good to know.

[Nice222]

I just lost a good friend to pancreatic cancer back in September. As sad and shocking as it was at least he didn’t suffer very long.

[slatyb]

@goaded No, it was terminal diagnosis of Lewy Body dementia, a progressive dementia similar to Parkinson's.

[4ngelic]

alzheimers, shizophrenia, whatever conditions cause you to need a colloscopy bag, fish odor syndrome, progeroid diseases (different conditions that make you age much much faster. like you could be 20 but look 60), blindness, whatever conditions make you paralyzed

[goaded]

I thought dementia of some kind, but at least you don't know it's happening. It's worse for the people who love you. A slow cancer when you know what is happening is worse, you all know what is going on until the end. Strokes suck, too.

I'm looking forward to a quick death from a heart attack or a skiing accident.

[slatyb]

Progressive dementias are almost always diagnosed while the person is competent.

[Lynx122]

Autoimmune disease is pretty bad. I know someone who has it and has to get an injection every month to suppress her immune system. It's something you'll have your entire life and depending on the severity it'll shorten your life.

[dislikesmath]

I have have depression, schizophrenia, anxiety hddd something like that since I was a teenager I made a mistake I'm actually 39. I'm really kinda fighting reamathoid arthritis for years any part of my body can fail me even my heart. Scary stuff but I holding on.

[Agape93]

Locked in syndrome. Thankfully, I have loved ones who will pop my gourd if I was that incapacitated.

[NobodyXox]

I think most are awful. And there are some bizar ones out there. I don't think I can even choose.

[CherryLove007]

The one I suffer with now. But my second pick is brain C

[Wuai201]

Anything that deals with cords and bags attached to your body.
I'm too clumsy for that

[AngryCarl2]

Cancer, anything that metastasises to the bones.

[Anonymous]

I have a list of them I say if I get them then It'll be goodnight Vienna
