Hi Joe,
I watched both my parents succumb to Alzheimer's and the personal problems that came about because of this disease. But God is good and He supplied every need as they appeared. I have even written a book too - My Parents' Passing. I wrote it to open the eyes of those who want to know and not make the same mistakes that I made. I wrote it to help my family know should someone else in our family be diagnosed with it. I can see how a person could hide this for several years from even a loved one. Would it be in my best interest to know if I inherited this awful dementia and to be on medication? Will it slow the process down enough to make a difference? At what point does it not help? Lord please bless us with a cure. -Earlene

I pulled Earlene's comment from one of my posts, I feel the questions assked a valid. Earlene I will give you my take and hopefully others will comment.
Is it better to know if you have inheretited this disease or one step farther will get it?
I think not why worry your liffe away about something you have no control over, inspite of all the experts. Live you life, laugh, have fun, eat right, get the sleep you need. Go to the Dr. when needed, but make him or her answer as to why they came up with the aliment why the tests are necessary and what do theey reallly mean. Remember this is your life.
Knowing will not slow down anything, hell they do not know what causes it, plenty of theories and studies all proving nothing. All the knowledge that you may or may not get it and worring about it the point the point where all this knowwing and worring and wasting you life over maybe getting it ends when you get it if you do. So let it go and live your life.
Remember The Alzheimer's Research Foundation, says thi:
Zero know Causes
Zero know Cures
Zero medicines to reall help, i agree.
Pleas rest your brain and live for today, tomorrow will take care of itself.

God Bless & Keep You & This Country of Ours!
