The exact time frame of the disease is unknown, but Jameson suffered from the disease for several years, records stating that he lost the ability to walk four years prior to his death and should never have been able to so much as lift himself from his support chair into a standard seat without help. In 2359, Admiral Mark Jameson was diagnosed with this illness. Jameson attempted to alleviate the symptoms by using an alien drug from Cerberus II to reverse the aging process. While this appeared successful, Jameson's overuse of the drug eventually killed him. (TNG: "Too Short a Season" )
