10. Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: A Rare and Fatal Brain Disorder
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative, and fatal brain disorder that affects about one in every one million people worldwide. CJD is characterized by rapidly progressing neurological symptoms, including tremors.
Tremors caused by CJD can affect various parts of the body and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as muscle stiffness, weakness, and problems with coordination and balance.
CJD is caused by abnormal proteins called prions, which accumulate in the brain and cause damage to nerve cells. There is currently no cure for CJD, and treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms and providing supportive care.
If you or a loved one are experiencing tremors or other symptoms suggestive of CJD, consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. (10)
