POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS

The major difficulty in diagnosing CJD is that there is no one typical path the disease process takes. CJD has a multitude of possible symptoms and what one patient may experience at the beginning of the process, another patient may not experience at all. Each form of CJD may present differently.

 

Please go to the CJD Pamphlet for accurate information about the various symptoms. A list of common symptoms can be found on the following pages in the pamphlet:

 

page 7 Sporadic CJD

page 11 Familial CJD

page 13 Iatrogenic CJD

page 15 Variant CJD

 

Please keep in mind that CJD can be present with symptoms not listed in the pamphlet. A physician must be consulted for a diagnosis and symptom management.
