Mozart, don't make me sorry that I had a moment of compassion and tried to commiserate with you over your condition. Your nihilism is nothing more than you projecting, however hard you try to convince yourself and others that it's a sturdy philosophical position. If you had a normally functioning brain and experienced the usual pleasures of life, we wouldn't be hearing a word about the meaninglessness of it all from you.
As for the inevitability of death . . . News Flash: We know! How one chooses to face up to that fact is the gut check we all have to make. You can either curl up like a worm, or you can face it with resigned courage. I don't give a damn which you choose, but don't think for a minute that you get to tell me or anyone else that the struggle is meaningless just because it doesn't last into eternity. Your opinion is not normative -- especially since it is conditioned by a medical condition.
