Click ja.ma/3djszUx to read "Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease as a Novel Cause of Wing-Beating Tremor" in JAMA Neurology.

This man allowed himself to be filmed in an incredibly vulnerable state for the betterment of medicine. He's stronger than I'll ever be.

Poor dude is fully cognizant and aware of everything. May he rest in peace.

i feel so bad :( he looked so scared and embarrassed that these things were happening to him and he couldn’t control it :( the worst part was when he took his other arm to stop it 😢 poor guy :C

It’s tough to watch, but we should also offer him our gratitude, and not just sympathies. Creuzfeldt-Jakob is rare but inevitably fatal. These videos with different medical signs are not easy watching, even for med students, but important. The only way we will be able to treat or cure this illness is through study and he volunteered to assist with that, in a very public and vulnerable way, for the benefit of medicine and mankind. That’s a courageous, kind, amazing thing to do for your fellow human beings. It’s heroic and should be honored. I celebrate him for that.

Thank you for posting this video. While my dad was sick with this horrible disease I made it my effort to inform whom I can host this horrific disease

That must be terrifying to see these movements from your own body that you don't mean to do, I feel so bad for this guy

Thankful for this, after watching this we figured out that my mom has it too . Mom passed away because of this 3 weeks ago. It was horrible watching her dealing with this disease for whole family. May God be with everybody dealing with this thing.❤️

Just because of some proteins deciding to fold a slightly different way. Truly horrifying pathogen and disease, rest in peace my dude

i cant imagine the helplessness the patients of this disease feel when they are informed that there is no cure and that they are bound to die in a relatively short amount of time

Right now, my grandmother has this. She has always been sweet and kind but now she can’t even remember me and others. I am crying right now because the doctor said she only has a few months to live. Maybe you guys can help pray for my grandmother

A friend of mine died from this disease. I'd NEVER heard of this before and it's DEVASTATING 💔 My sincerest prayers to ANYONE affected by this terrible condition 🙏🏾

May this man find eternal peace. He is truly amazing for allowing himself to be filmed like this.

It's sad seeing him have to grab his arm in order to stop the tremor. But at least he was able to stop it.

I can *feel* his frustration when he tries to do things but can’t. How is this not being talked about!? It hurts so *damn* much.

Very informative. thank you to this brave patient

was studying this topic and this video really helped understanding the disease better but had to hold back my tears. there are times when it hits you really hard that people are so much more than their illnesses ...having a family and a complex life just like the rest of us. may his soul rest in peace

i appreciate him allowing this to be filmed.

Poor guy.

Wow this is genuinely one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to watch man this man rest in peace, no one deserves that. Its even more heartbreaking reading the comments I’m sorry for all your losses we need a cure for these types of diseases soon. We need to better our entire society and use our resources on that before anything else.

CJD is a horrible disease, my mother passed away from it. May this man rest in peace, too

My mother nursed a couple of individuals with this disease back in her nursing days (late 70s/early 80s). Thankfully today we can make those who are succumbing to it a lot more comfortable.

God bless this man and his medical staff. I hope he was comfortable his last stretch of life. Praying we see a cure for this awful disease in the future.

Imagine how awful it must feel after finding out that you’ve got a prion disease like CJD :(

Thank you, sir; gracias Señor. Your willingness to demonstrate the movements of this disease is helping to educate and provide others with answers across the globe. Que Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu familia.

:( Sending love to him and his loved ones. Broke my heart to see this. I hope a cure will be found soon

my mom experience it now, in the phase of can not response anything but the myoclonus... we do the best we can to be with her, knowing that no cure or treatment can be done with the disease... my thoughts and prays to anyone and families with this disease...

I am sorry. Man so sweet. I hope he did or does not suffer badly by this terrible affliction. Love to people everywhere.

Just found out my uncle who i love like a dad has this.

Thank you for sharing this It is very helpful for medical students Watch the symptoms with your eyes and you'll never forget it.. respect for the patient

No Treatment yet(only supportive care)

My grandmother died of CJD in 1984. It really messed my mom up watching it. To the point that she had to stop visiting her because she didn’t know who she was anymore. The blood banks won’t take my blood because of her death. I’ve researched it and it’s pretty scary how little they actually know about who gets it and why.

My mom died of CJD and I know how painful it's for the family.... As it's a fatal disease.

Truly fascinating.. Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it is something else. You can see body losing control after activating certain neurons and using precision. Thank you Sir, for being open to make footage before your death. We may be better one day because of it.

I thought that Parkinson was an horrible disease. Now, I learn about this disease and ffi, I am truly speechless, how the brain, human nature can do these things to us. So sad.

Al caballero del video decirle que es todo un ejemplo de valentía y coraje por dejarse grabar en esta situacion de vulnerabilidad. Gracias por compartir y que la cura no se haga tardar ❤

Poor grandpa.. Hope it will be cured completely one day

Hope nobody gets this desease & may the souls of the loved ones rest in peace. Hope they'll find a cure for this desease.

This illness is so sad....it progresses so fast and there's no treatment. 🥺

I hope this man’s in a better place he looked like a great guy, what a shame we couldn’t save him

Thank you kind Sir, for helping educate humanity on this unfair disease. My condolences to you, i hope youve found peace now ❤

The hospital in my city put this on my medical history And when I saw it on the computer screen and asked what creutzfeldt jacobs was she said it was another name for the disease I had just been diagnosed with (Charcot Marie tooth) I made her get a medical encyclopedia and check She pretended to read, said it was another name for my disease, and then left me alone in the room with the book. I was very upset when I read what it was. As far as I know It’s still on my medical history Avoid the hospitals in Nova Scotia, they might kill you.

This man is doing something great. Imagine how many students are learning because of him. I feel sorry for him, but without such heroes, how do you expect medicine to improve and students to become great doctors?❤

Bless this poor man, I hope he is at peace now.

mi abuela falleció por esta terrible enfermedad. Que terrible fue verla deteriorarse tan rápido que ni tiempo me dio para despedirme. Espero que se encuentre alguna cura o tratamiento efectivo que pueda curar a todas las personas que sufren de esta enfermedad.

I appreciate patients efforts

Thank you Sir. You are our teacher. Much rescpect for you ❤

Why does youtube put a COVID notification on this video? Is it related?

Prions are absolutely horrifying. May this man rest in peace.

Great to see Google identifying credible health information like NSF and other health content like this within KZfaq!!

this is one of the diseases I’m most terrified of. rest in peace to the patient in the video- as he has most likely passed.

All the best for this man.

Very sad. You have my prayers🙏❤

MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!! fue muy útil. Se entiende mucho mejor que una clase sin más, de verdad.

that is really a terrible disease i wish anyone who gets it to have the best life they could possibly get until the end.

I was hesitant to watch because I know it would be upsetting to watch. And that's exactly why I had to watch. I don't know how I would even handle fhe situation at all. This is real shit that happens to real people and it's heartbreaking. I wish the medical field good luck in making advanced and gaining more knowledge how to address it

Poor man.. I can just pray and hope than future scientist & medical advancement can someday find solution to this terminal desease.

This poor man. I cannot imagine the terror and helplessness he felt going through this and knowing things will only get worse from there. I hope he is happy in Heaven now.

Man. Rest in peace

Thank u sir! Rest in peace

My sister appears to have this. Technically no diagnosis from doctors yet until see movement specialist next month. She deteriorating by the weeks noticably. All the symptoms fit this disease. She's almost bedridden now, dementia and almost can't talk or hardly eat. Pray for her.😢

oh my god i feel so bad for him. may he rest in peace

Well this is heartbreaking.

The fact this is invariably fatal puts this in a frightening and sad perspective.

Poor man. May he rest in peace.

this is heartbreaking.

Rest in Peace 🕊

Heartbreaking. I pray blessings on you and your family. I know you are probably gone now. Peace to you

He looks so afraid. God be with this man.

poor man. i hope he comes to peace in some way.

Respect for this gentleman.👍👍

My father had Parkinson's dementia along with lewy bodies . I remember his involuntary movement . Sometimes grinding the tip of his Cane into the carpet for hrs wearing holes etc . RIP Dad .

This hurts my heart, Prions are truly mysterious things. I wish we knew more about them since only way to kill Prions are to burn them above human limit plus they're unfortunately a guaranteed death because nothing can stop them these take years to kill and you go through last years with alot of pain, may he rest in peace.

May he rest in peace. Such a cruel oversight to let this horrible disease take place.

hello..i m from india...my aunt suffering from cjd...she is unable to see,hear m speak due to this

he look like he is a fighter

I experience this form of tremor during some of my severe migraines. Scares the life out of my poor mum.

That is so sad. Let him rest in peace god. how do this gets spread?

We need to figure out how to make the immune system attack prions

My grandfather died because of this.... He was a prison guard... He was the only case of creutzfeldt jakob in Canada at this Time but i dont believe it.

Que dura y terrible es esta enfermedad, mi padre murió hace 6 años de esta enfermedad y es durísima, tanto para él como para la familia

How did he get this?

poor guy looks so scared.

Respect for him❤

:( He is so strong.

Prions aint no joke

Worst thing is I heard it's painful.

Is it the problem in left cerebellum? Bcs his problem seem like in left extremity. I am trying to understand.

Who is here after Canada cases?

This was 5 months ago is e alivem

That's so awful. Poor man

Es degeneracion de hemisfero derecho? 😢💔❤️‍🩹❤

My mom died of this way back in the late 80.s was so hard to get a diagnosis only at autopsy were we sure.Rgey got the diagnosis by sending It e brain matter to Enlgland she had even a rarer form of Cjd.!!! . Was called Japanese Cjd and no we r not Asian..Very horrible disease Nord helped.Its for rare illnesses 😢

I am in 11th and when I study about jakob disease... I am confused how it look like and finally I understand what happens thanks for sharing this...

Poor fellow.

Heartbreaking
