hi my cousins husband is dying of vcjd, every since he has got it i've constantly worried that i might get it and then my nan died in jan and i just can't stop thinking that i'm going to get vcjd and die. i'm ony 24 with 4 kids, i've always been really scared of dyin and now i just feel it's going to happen. i've convinced myself i've got the symptoms! i can't eat i haven't eaten for a week, my sleeping pattern is so different my legs kill me there constantly tingling or burning please can u help me, i am really shaky and have convinced myself i can't stand properly, i'm really aggitated can't concentrate on anything and when people are talking to me i'm not listening properly cause its all i can think about! i check the same things 5/6 time just to make sure i locked something for example my chest hurts sometimes this morning it felt like my heart was beating funny, is there any test to rule vcjd out?

Thnaks for using this forum...

You must be talking about Creutzfeldt disease..well the chances of having it are very less compared to other common diseases which are more common..Its like saying that I shouldnot walk on road as there are so many accidents..Relax the disease doesnot present as you are having the symptoms and still If you are so worried stop eating beef which is its main source...

The symptoms you describe seem more due to depression and anxiety ...you should take some antianxiety drue and move on..

take care..
