My mom was unofficially diagnosed with CJD before she passed away on July 5th, 2019. Two weeks after her death, we received the official diagnosis from the spinal tap she had done in Iowa City. It indeed was sporadic CJD.
What started as just vision issues in late May quickly escalated to mood swings and confusion and then to silence as she faded away from this life. This disease is a monster. It's destructive. It's scary. It's progressive. Please help me raise funds for research.
