Thoughts about Alzheimers

Today is one of those days
when I can't remember where or when.
Thank goodness this does not happen all the time right now!
I'm losing this and misplacing that and quite frankly I'm just a little frustrated with myself.

Sometimes I think I'm going to beat Alzheimers. I guess it's mosty just hope. I'm no different from anyone else who has this so why should I have such high expectations. Perhaps it's because,I'm not one who gives up easily. I try to make the best out of what ever situations come along in life and turn things around if at all possible. Once in while I'm over come by obstacles that happen, but after a while I always seem to get back on track and can face a new day with hope and determination.

There are three of us now who have Alzheimers, my husband ,our son,Sam who is now 52 and my self. We all have short term memory loss. I'm a retired nurse and therefore the caregiver.
I do lots of research and we all try to help each other. I have tried to bring more awareness to others also.

Eating foods that are low in fat, high in antioxidents, green leafy vegetables and fish help to combat it.They say blueberries,apple juice, and green tea help. Taking B vitamins such a Vitamin B12 ,1000 mcg or more and Folic Acid 1600 mcg,Cinnamon 2000 mg and Omega 3 can help to combat this plus the medications, Namenda and Exelon or Arceipt.

There is no cure yet,only medications that can delay it. At least that gives us who have it a repreive and a chance that a break through might be found in the near future.

I honestly believe that the insecticides , growth hormones, special fertilizres, preservatives and allumiun all have something to do with many of our health issues.

If any are interested ,I can refer them to some web sites that offer information about Alzheimers.
God Bless you...Tomorrow is another day, and it will be better than today.......M
