Well... I have a really rare fatal neurodegenerative disease called Huntington's Disease that mimics Alzheimer's, ALS (Lou Gehrig's), and Parkinson's Disease. Unfortunately for me, mine and my family's mimics ataxia and MS rather than Parkinson's Disease and they don't really know why.
I got it from my mom as there is a 50% chance of a kid getting HD if they're parent has it. My mom self-medicates whereas I go to a neuro, pain management, and physical therapy. It's been really a mess honestly. All of the girls in my mom's family have it (my mom's sisters) and two of my aunts have already passed on from it.
I am losing my ability to walk and talk, and I have mental issues (schizophrenia) but I still try to stay as active as I can and keep up with technology and communication via technology and take my medication. That's kind of what has moved me to become a hacker even though I suppose I'm a blackhat hacker rather than whitehat which is bassackwards I know. It gives me something to focus on and think about anyways.
I'm not quite sure what is motivating me to throw all this out there to you guys but yeah there it is. It sucks but we all die sometime, kinda reminds me of that one The Academy Is... song The Phrase That Pays. lol.
