#48474, "Just a couple rare diseases"
Edited on Sat 19-Jan-13 10:36 PM

          

--- Morgellons (could call it the liches touch or some such)

According to the Morgellons Research Foundation, crawling, biting and stinging sensations and the emergence of strange blue, black or red fibers from the skin characterize a disease that nearly 14,000 people suffer from, according to the Foundation.

This is often accompanied by exhaustion, short-term memory loss, joint pain and changes in vision. The condition was named Morgellons in 2002 by a mother who believed her two-year-old son was suffering from the disease. The name comes from a 17th century skin condition found in France, in which children died after the emergence of 'dark hair.'

*** The top paragraph could be a cool little echo that randomly gets noticed by people in the room, when the echo fires there is a chance for one of the three affects to fire (or more).
Exhaustion (half movement?)
Forget (couple ticks)
Blindness and/or loss of scanning



--- Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), could call it something like the crystals caress, meh, I am bad with names.

In 1938, when American Harry Eastlack was five-years-old, he broke his leg. The fracture didn't set properly, his hip and knee stiffened up and, bizarrely, bone growths developed on the muscles of his thigh. By his mid 20s, the vertebrae of his back had begun to fuse together. When he died aged 39 in 1973, he was able to move only his lips.

He suffered from fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a rare disease affecting some 1 in 2 million people, in which the body's tendons and ligaments undergo a strange metamorphosis, essentially a transformation into bone.

*** I think this one could be really neat, have a small chance for any physical malediction that is based around broken bones to have a stacking -1 tick timer single point malediction to STR or DEX that doesn't go away until death.



--- Progeria – Accelerated Aging

We all dread the symptoms of aging – baldness, wrinkles, losing our teeth. But sometimes, they come all too early. Children with the extremely rare disorder known as Progeria begin to look elderly before they’re even two years old, while maintaining age-appropriate intelligence. Sadly, most people affected by Progeria begin to suffer from the same ailments as the elderly including arthritis and cardiovascular disease and rarely live past the age of thirteen.

*** You guys probably already have something like this, but a shortened life span quicker physical stat degeneration (based on age) flaw.
