MORE QUESTIONS NO ANSWER
this weekend i was on a panel of folks that answered questions
from caregivers and family members about alzheimers
sponsored by the capital area agency on aging
is there treatment for alzheimers disease
sorry
but there is no treatment or cure for this disease
yet
is what i add at the end
to give us hope
and
because i feel like we are getting closer to being able
to answer that question in another way
i look forward to the day when someone can answer that
question by saying
yes there is a treatment or cure for this terrible disease
i would love to be taking a cure pill every day
right now we are just not there yet
as ive written before there are several new treatment studies
using the alzheimers vaccine and the nasal insulin that are
or will be starting up this year
whenever i do these panels or give a talk on alzheimers disease
the audience seems so thirsty for answers to their questions
usually the moderator has to cut off the questions as the
time runs out
ive tried to hang around and answer questions until they
run me off
we were the last to leave there this weekend again
so
i dont have the answer
but i do have a lot of information i can give them
i think that helps them deal with whats happening
in their lives
here is
the link to the 21 question alzheimers questionnaire
the link to the online 5 best alzheimers self memory tests
the link to the alzheimers research center at ut southwestern dallas
the link to the central texas alzheimers association
dont go it alone
dont put off getting an evaluation done
