Thank you Cara. Yes, it does seem their are more with Alzheimer's D. as well as dementia. What struck me recently is the fact they are dx'ing more & more early on-set. It would be wonderful to find some cures or just something that will slow it down.
I was amazed at one of the patients on BT had Alzh., she said how long she had had it,but I have forgotten. This makes the red flags flying for me

She said when her Dr. visits came around she was the one to talk with the DR, She and the Dr. together decided on which meds. Then the change would always be her decission. She was amazinly lucid. I can see where those very things would be of help the patient.

I was the one to take MIL to the neuro that dx'ed her . She didn't like me anymore. She knew what the Dr. was saying, She started crying before we left. Told me the Dr. said she was crazy.

Hubbies syblings would not let anybody speak of it around her, now I think that was cruel.
