Alzheimers took my wife’s life and nearly mine in having to care for her. You cannot imagine the 24 hour a day task of taking care of a dementia patient. So, this discovery has significant meaning to me.
It’s a fucking awful disease/condition and I hope to hell humanity sees a total cure for it soon.
My brother’s mother in law suffers from this. It gets worse and worse by the day.
Before experiencing this so closely, I always thought that Alzheimer’s was just a memory issue. I didn’t realize all the physical and emotional issues.
I’ve seen her fall for no reason. I’ve seen her act like a 6 year old. Very very difficult situation to live through and care for.
