I think it depends if the person notices the disease changing them for the negative, for my grandma the onset of this stuff was pretty rapid, so I don't think she was aware of what was going on. In that case it'd be sadder for my family. But in general, it disturbs me that you can live a life filled with great memories, and somehow a disease can rob you of these memories/experiences. That's pretty damn creepy to me.
It's weird, because I can still talk to my grandpa about his childhood and basically everything up to the 1970s. He has flashes of clarity where he can speak almost as well as he used to be able to, so I just can't have that attitude yet. He can still speak two languages. It's just that he's so childlike now most of the time. It's awful.
I watched the little video and they seem to live an healthy non-sedentary lifestyle. I don't know about the impact of religion but it's known that physical activity and healthy diet is good for health.
we visited her relatively often, my grandma was always extremely social and well-liked by everyone around her, so I certainly don't think she was ever lonely. She died when I was in highschool from the disease. I got to whisper in her ear that I loved her hours before she died. One of the kittens from the nursing home slept with her all night until she passed.
I think I just tried to disconnect from it so her death wouldn't hurt me as bad
What do we eat that has copper in it?
No surprise. I'm trying to wall myself off from it emotionally. My mom (he's her daughter) and grandma cannot, but my dad deals with it by joking around with him like a kid kind of. I am trying to find a way to deal with it in a similar way, no success thoughI think I just tried to disconnect from it so her death wouldn't hurt me as bad
it's weird how you start off as a baby and basically end as baby too (needing constant care from other people)
I believe this is a false study then, friend. My wifes family is asian and based on this list they have a very heavy copper diet yet theres no one with this illness in her family, many of which are very old.
That's why staying active physically, mentally, and socially are sohh important.
No troll, but I say the family. It's hard to watch someone you've known for years suffer. I'd say for the most part, people with the disease don't even really know they have it. But in my grandmother case, if she ever became physically handicapped in one way or another she'd "lose it", quickly. My grandma is about 90, yet walks everyday for 2-3 miles, reads the newspaper, plays crossword puzzles, diets healthy and doesn't even own a car....
Yeah while faith is important and does play some role, the main take away from this study focuses on the enriched social environment as well as being physically active.
Now they just say some other shyt to get more funding.
word...and smoke weed..
I wonder if people who have Alzheimers show similiar brain activity with people who have had a loss of oxygen to the brain and ended up with brain damageThis study means nothing, 10 years ago they said the cause of Alzheimer is low blood pressure for a consistent period at an elderly age
