Prayers out for your friend for loss of son and grandson.

It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others

Tell us more about what happened. Did either get an accurate diagnosis or test?

I am not sure the NIH or the CDC web sites paint an accurate picture as our government is in denial on these prion or TSE diseases.

Here is a link to a better resource.  National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center

The disease is also called Sporadic Fatal Insomnia SFI as they are not sure of the Familial (family) connection other than a few known families.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
