I'm so sorry -- I know you have been worried for a while.

I have only lost 1 T, and it really hurt to lose him, and I miss him still.

This is Fangs right before I buried it. As you can see, it's abdomen has collasped and is wrinkly, which is a sign of a dead T. I stretched it out so it would be easier to see.

Also I want you to know I did everything I could to save this guy, including decapitating a few roaches at an attempt to get him to take pre killed food early in its decline, and an ICU would have stressed it out more IMO.

You did good by not putting it in an ICU. ICUs usually serve for hydration which you can get with a good drink and the T will be fine within 24 hours.

You've progressed a lot since you first came here, so at least feel at peace with that. I know I was a bit harsh on you when you were new but I can say that you handled this very well.

I'm very sorry for your loss. But it looks like Fangs was comfortable before it died, and therefore was a happy T.

Tell that to my Holothele sp. "Yanayaccu". The way I see it, is that it's a kuru/cerebral palsy/chemical exposure type of disorder/symptom.
People tend to tout it as a legitimate disease, when from what I gather it is a symptom from poisoning with some sort of neurotoxin which multiple things can do; so I would say it does "technically" exist. Though you have my condolences about the Holothele.
