I would not wish this disease on anybody. My late mother died at 85 with Alzheimers after suffering with it for 20 years and getting progressively worse.

I just hope they find a cure and SOON!

I'm truly sorry Nom. I also hope they find a cure soon. I do not want to compare it against other diseases but I personally feel Alzheimer is one of the worst.

Thanks Colleen, the worst aspect of Alzheimers is that you know it can only get worse and there is nothing that can be done to alleviate the symptoms.My mother's mother and several of her siblings also had it so I worry that I may get it also, so I take my statin and exercise my body on my bike and my brain on AKAQA.

Have you checked into alternative medicines? I guess I look at this this way, can't hurt to try(?) http://www.alz.org/alzheimers_disease_alternative_treatments.asp

that's heart breaking, Nom.There was a young man here in my area that had it and he still had school aged children at home.He died from it..
I read that Vit D3 can help prevent it.
