I see you Soph :laugh:
Its studies like these that piss me off, and then experiments do shitty experiments sometimes because of psychological reasons. They miss things because it would result in them digging up their own issues, this is preconscious material. I try to make things right, that makes it so that doesn't happen to me. I plan on doing some lab work someday. The stupid shit I see is stuff like exercise reduces cardiovascular risk 30%, and I say duh!, why care so much about the fuckn numbers, its kind of waste of time.
Soph, thanks for this article, I think it sounds intresting.

knowing two languages helps prevent alzheimers. :toporly:
-
I understand alot of things am not supposed to, not according to other people.

My Nana has Alzheimer's and her sister died from it, so it is in my family, plus I get depressed. If there is even a hint of me having it eventually, I am going to knock myself off. :P
-
my dad's mom has alzheimer's.
i won't live long enough to get it.
-
my grandma has Alzheimers. She was pretty depressed about it when she couldn't pay her bills anymore and had to stop living by herself.

how can you die from a disease that makes you forget? does it eat your brain or something? are they close to a cure yet? :zombiefuck:

It does deteriorate your brain. Eventually, you forget how to do anything at all, even eat or sit up in bed, so you become bedridden and quite often you die of something like pneumonia or you get bedsores and they become infected.
My grandmother had Alzheimer's disease and she died of pneumonia.
There is no cure. They have treatments, like Aricept, that help some of the symptoms, especially in the early and middle stages, but these medicines do not stop the decline, which is inevitable.

i don't want to end up in that state. i think they should kill people like that. i'd rather my granma was mercykilled than let live like that. i never liked her but she doesn't deserve this. :(

We had to have a feeding tube implanted into my grandmother's stomach, since she would not eat enough otherwise.
If there is a mercy in Alzheimer's Disease, it is that the affected person does not realize their cognitive impairments.
My grandmother very much wanted to live.

it's no life living like that.
when i ate weedcake i felt like an alzheimer's patient. if it's that horrible everyone with alzheimer's should be shot immediately. i couldn't hold onto anything in my head but i was still aware somehow of that and it was hell.

Some people keep their family members alive even though they have no quality of life. My Nana is not my Nana anymore. She has no personality anymore. I wish euthanasia to be legal.

One of my teachers in high school (a Brother) called it "old-timer's disease". :lol:

lolness. :lol:

My grandma went through that She was depressed about it and said she didn't want to live like that. But most of the time she forgets to be depressed, and that is a good thing. Last time I saw her ( a month or two ago) she was still aware who she was, and my mom said she still is, even though she has difficultly with simple tasks now, like going to the bathroom. I don't know if she has Alzheimer's although there is a cognitive decline, she defiantly has dementia.

I think that Alzheimer's Disease tends to be a diagnosis of exclusion.
How old is your grandma?
-
86 now

I am sure there are ways to cope with that, I got around my stress and functioned at a high level. It did however make it harder for me to tell that I could use a horomone. Maybe that is why I didn't get the help I needed, because of how well I do, it must not be common. Positive things are more likely to be true, either that or doctors are real assholes.
