Dither Syndrome

A rare medical illness that mysteriously attacks the nervous system slowly over time with an effect of full-body paralysis. The illness isn't contagious, rather is it a rare genetic occurrence that affects a tiny proportion of the world population, inside or outside of Sprawn Valley. The condition may trigger during early childhood, adolescence, or late adulthood; it can trigger at any time. It's hard to diagnose in the medical profession, but it also has no known treatment or cure. It's a worse kind of cancer, something that slows the body's physical capabilities down over a long period of time and progression. You don't die from it right away. It takes about sixteen to twenty-one months for the symptoms to progress to a point of no return. And eventually, the disease wears down the spinal region's nerve cells, preluding the fate of additional vital organs before the slow death.

Transmission & Vectors

Genetic mutation only.

Causes

No known cause.

Symptoms

Afflicted patients wear down in stamina and energy over the first dew days, while nerve cells specific to the spinal cord are reduced by the non-tumourous cancer.
All neuro and spinal-cellular activity gradually slows down, often creating a long-lasting if not permenant sedation effect throughout the body.
The final stages are organ failure, with the lungs being the first to fail.

Treatment

There is no known treatment or cure for this disease. Seasoned medical professionals are occasionally dispatched to Sprawn Valley to study any potential patients to determine if the veil lengthens the time of survival

Prognosis

After initial symptoms show, the patient has a few months to live while their body gradually slows down over time. This condition though genetic can activate at any given time, and when it does, it is always fatal.

History

The condition was first recorded in a severe case in Russia. After the second case was found in America, the CDC isolated the patient and their familes to pinpoint the cause, discovering a new genetic disease.
