There is no disease that scares me more than this: to lose control of my mind. As a programmer besides my hands it's what makes me go. I watched my father fall apart from Hemochromatosis (iron overload), which is easy to treat these days, and especially when his once brilliant mind couldn't even pay for things anymore without being confused. In his case it was due to the iron deposits in his brain but the effect was similar to Alzheimers. It's hard to see the person you knew become someone else.
