Wondering who else is in the same boat as me. I’m paranoid about this since my maternal grandfather has it. And that new article says fin increases risk of Alzheimer’s so I’m here frantically trying to research all stuff about Alzheimer’s and treatments coming out
Anyways I regularly see my gramps. It’s not a pretty sight at all.
My grandmother has dementia, but she rapidly went down hill after the doctor had her on ssris, I don’t know why a doctor would prescribe that to someone with memory loss, I yelled at my mother for that to.
I didn’t read the article you mention as I find it too alarming to think about but it might be better to look at reducing your risk through lifestyle changes, rather than worrying about it and looking at treatments. Aside from that, presumably any treatments you MIGHT need will be decades in the future, which means plenty of time for new breakthroughs. The future is not written and you may not ever develop a condition.
Try not to stress yourself out. I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather.
Sorry to hear that buddy.
I think one thing we can all agree after our experience:
Science is not settled
Always good to be skeptical.
Medical community’s first protocol for many things is an Ssri.
Hopefully this decade ends that
Are you saying that If I were to develop it, it would be decades later?
Or that the treatments itself would come out decades later?
Anyways you’re right. Alzheimer’s is unofficially called type 3 diabetes. Good to be in good health despite us having low allo levels
I am saying that it’s unlikely that you’ll develop it soon if you are to ever.
Thanks man. I’m off to bed.
My grandmother died of it before Christmas, I never seen a human deteriorate as fast in my life.
My grandfather had it, and from what I was told (Wasn’t close to him, or lived near) it was pretty awful. It scared my Dad pretty bad, being that I guess its hereditary.
From what I remember reading, they’ve made some really good advancements on treatment and prevention.
cardio and strength training + heart healthy diet thats not inflammatory (no sugar and processed carbs) helps a lot
as well as un interrupted deep 8 hour sleep. im telling my folks to optimize all of that
No one in my family had Alzheimer’s that I know of. All on both sides were sharp to the end and lived long.
Glad to hear
My grandfather has Alzheimer’s, memantine is helping him. My father passed too young for that disease.
