We often joke about losing keys or even a remote control and finding them inside the freezer or in the most unlikely places. Sometimes, we often forget simple words or substitute unusual words that left the person we are talking to baffled or confused. Our forgetfulness is becoming a nuisance to our family and friends.
If we often experience these little incidents, maybe it's time we need to see a doctor. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Seeing a physician is a good way to start.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that gradually destroys a person's memory and ability to learn, reason, make judgments, communicate and carry out daily activities. as the disease progresses, individuals may also experience changes in personality and behavior, such as anxiety, suspiciousness or agitation, as well as delusions or hallucinations.
Because many people do not recognize the seriousness of Alzheimer's disease, those who have a member of the family afflicted with Alzheimer's prefer to conceal them. As a result the patient simply endures the disease not knowing there are many out there like him. Unknown to them, those who suffer from Alzheimer's can be helped if the disease is quickly identified. Though there is no known cure for the disease,there are new ways to manage the symptoms, new medications and ways to keep the patients' mind and body active and maintain quality of life.
The Alzheimer's Association(AA), the world leader in Alzheimer's research and support, provides a broad range of programs and services for people with the disease, families, caregivers and residential care professionals and professional health providers.

Oh dear this disease is really dreadful. Especially that it comes towards the feeble old age of humans.
I pray for God's Mercy that I will be spared from this disease and becoming a heavy burden on my family.
Thanks for sharing this.
