» kenwindsor - Thanks I am a CE writing on Photography. Today I have a day off work and I am going to visit some relatives, and was told last night to expect to see a bad change in my uncle who has AZ.Checking out the new topics on Suite101 I saw yours - and it gave me valuable information to prepare myslef for todays visit. It is not also devastating for sufferers and carers, but also a frightening thought for all of us who may at some time in the future be affected. Is there any research which shows that keeping your mind active (like using home pc's) as we grow older will help to keep the problem at bay - or is it something we cannot as individuals actually do anything about. Thanks again for such a timely subject. -- posted by kenwindsor » bpsibley - Re: Thanks Ken,I'm sorry about your uncle. I'm glad my article was helpful. There have been a lot of news articles about how keeping active may help. I've got some of them posted on my Alzheimer's in the News page at: http://www.zarcrom.com/users/yeartorem/a... I think that I've seen that in the people I've met online who have early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Along with the medication they take, I think that keeping active and involved on the Internet may been helping them to be able to still do far more than they would be able to otherwise. Thank you for posting and for your kind words about my article. In response to message posted by kenwindsor: -- posted by bpsibley » Red - thankyou... Brenda, thanks for sharing this information. It gives me more knowledge and has heightened my awareness of AZ.Though I do not know anyone with AZ at this time, I have in the past. I also have several friends who have parents who suffer from this affliction. I am glad to have the added information that I have found on your topic. Keep up the good work of spreading awareness. -- posted by Red » Grandlu - alzhimers My husband had a car accidentjust over 1 mo. ago-----3 days later he had heart failure----they induced a coma and he was n that coma for 2 wks--after comming out he was gentle and said he saw God, hell and some family members that have passed on----b 4 the coma he attended church but was not a true believer-----NOW he IS----after comming home , he is displaying several charactics of alzhimers----he is crying 1 minute and mad the next---he wants 2 sleep n the car and is cruel at times and can b violent-----we r attempting 2 have test run 2 c if this is alzhimers does any 1 know if this seems 2 b whats happening or have any in-put? -- posted by Grandlu » bpsibley - Re: alzhimers I'm sorry for not responding sooner. I thought I was to be emailed a copy of every message posted here but apparently not.It may be that your husband was/is suffering from the effects of stress from all he's been through. Maybe it's just temporary. I hope so. The tests should rule out any other possibilities before a diagnosis of Alzheimer's is made. In response to message posted by Grandlu: -- posted by bpsibley » bpsibley - Re: Huperzine In response to message posted by Marylou4:I would be careful about supplements and herbs like this. I've just found this statement on a doctor's Web site: I would say don't try self-medicating. Use only prescription medications that have been tested and proven. -- posted by bpsibley
