My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they’re like OH MY GOD WHY IS THE CAT DEAD???
Missing a “decades later” on the last two

Depends on the prion, but you’re also talking about prognosis after diagnosis - I don’t imagine most people are diagnosed soon after contracting it, and symptoms take time to appear.
Same for ALS btw, Hawkings is the exception. Typical is 1-2 years
yeah, iirc there are early-onset and late-onset as variants, and most common is late-onset with the life expectancy you named
how does prion disease taste?
Like milkshake.
Any idea what flavor? Strawberry, chocolate, Vanilla or something like Mountain Dew Code Red?
Kuru-y
so it tastes like chicken! Which would be fine, if it weren’t a shake. (I had the unpleasant experience of having to eat a pureed high-protein diet for a few weeks. Pureed chicken sucks.)
You had to puree your regular food or were you put on a high protein soft diet?
