as i said, things often happen in 3's

Meningitis is also known as "brain fever". It is a viral inflammation of the so called meningeal, a sort of membrane that is covering the brain. The older you are, the more harm it does. For a 30 year old it can be deadly or lead to lots of of successing problems; imbecility being only one of them.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

Prof. Sid Watkins had pleaded with Senna for him not to race at Imola. But he clearly wanted to. Racing was "in his blood", after all.

within reason. If you are a baby, like my brother does, it has a high chance of death. Its after a few months that it is less of a threat, until you start getting older like you said

You are right, though it is weird with babies. Some things that would kill a bull have no effect on babies, whereas other "harmless" things can kill.

Yes, how many babies have died of old age?

Well, if they all suffered from progeria, I would say quite a lot.

Well, this is true. Although progeria only affects between 1 in 4 million (estimated actual) and 1 in 8 million (reported) children.

Where is Dr.Nick when you need him?

Im here!

Sorry to hear about your brother dave

Yes progeria is a very uncommon disease and bascially Progeria is a rare genetic condition characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. Its name is derived from the Greek and means "prematurely old." The classic type is the Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome which was first described in England in 1886 by Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson and again in 1886 and 1904 by Dr. Hastings Gilford (an old realtive of mine).

As scott said the classic syndrome has a reported incidence of about 1 in 8 million newborns, and the total incidence is estimated to be about 1 in 4 million.

It is another one of the M.G.D (mutated gene diseases) which we dont have a cure for (yet !)

well,
.1 senna ran bcause , after 2nd qual, he had diner with some brazilian friends who said him to race (i heard that in "ayrton senna, a star was born".
.2 yes meningitis is terrible. here in portugal, in 2001, there was kinda epidemic here. the vacines went out of stock, in the tv we couldn't hear anythying but meningitis... btw, give a strebght word to your brother for me, ok?

The story i as reading about Senna was that he could not sleep on the Saturday night before the race so he went into Frank Williams room and sat and talked to him for hours

I've just been reading a very detailed book on Senna, and in particular, Imola 1994. There were all kinds of theories, according to the author, about Senna getting in the car from the "wrong" side, putting his balaclava on nervously, or just seeming really tense and not wanting to race. But according to Damon Hill, and several other members of the Williams team at the time, Senna was in a typically focused mood.

i think a lot of ppl, aprticualy the authors of these books can't face that we will neva no the truth. He's dead - he's the only1 who would no and he can't tell us (well at least not in this life))
