I have just started outlining a potential new project. It's coming together quite well, but I need a disease! I've been googling, and found a couple that might work, but ultimately haven't found the perfect one, and so I thought I would toss it out here to see what you guys came up with.
1. Preferably genetic
2. A disease that can show up at any time (one of my characters is in her early 20s, the other is about 50).
3. It would be great if it needed some kind of constant treatment (i.e. blood transfusion).
4. Either terminal, or not a super huge survival rate.
Maybe I am asking too much, or it's a shot in the dark, but if anyone has any ideas, I am excited to hear them.
