need more information

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
Unfortunately, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease has no treatment.
So everything is symptomatic treatment.
Please tell me where you exactly face a problem- what are the symptoms?
I will try to suggest what can be done.
I need to know what are her current medications, to avoid duplication of treatment option.
Best of luck,
Dr Mittal
