A question from Scott: Is it possible to develop Alzheimer’s disease when you are very young?
Is it possible to develop Alzheimer’s disease when you are very young?
My chosen answer:
Answer by justwondering
The youngest I have heard of anyone developing it was early 30′s, though that’s very rare and it occurred in a family with a VERY high prevalence of it.
There are other conditions and forms of dementia that can affect young people though.

Is It Normal for “Fibro Fog” to Resemble Early Alzheimer’s Symptoms?

A question from Rainbows and Lollipops: Is it normal for “Fibro Fog” to resemble early Alzheimer’s symptoms?
I am 25 and was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I also have always had ADD and anxiety symptoms as well. I understand that with fibromyalgia the thinking process can be slightly impared. But I was just reading the yahoo article about early sign of Alzheimers and some of the sound familiar. In example, sometimes I have to think a minute before I can tell you what I had to eat the previous day, sometimes I go to say one word and another word comes out or I will not be able to find the word I want to say (maybe that is nerves too). I bump into the walls sometimes (have a hard time judging distances) I have a hard time following a conversation, am easily distracted, bad with names, and cannot handle money most times without my brain freezing up (counting out change or doing math in my head is so hard and have always had trouble with numbers since childhood. This is especially embarassing when trying to count out a tip when I get my hair done (sometimes I have let way too much or too little). Is this normal Fibro Fog, ADD and nervousness, possibly coupled with denseness,lol? Or is this something I should mention to my Rheumatologist when I go for my appointment? What is within the realms of normal when it comes to fibro fog?

Answer by Ms. Complex
Yes honey, it’s normal. In fact the two conditions often mimic each other, especially when there are other medical problems to be dealt with. But please do ask your Rheumatologist to set your mind at ease.

A question asked by Nicole S: Is there an expected time frame for each stage of Alzheimer’s disease?
I understand the general life expectancy time frame, but I was wanting a time frame more specific to each stage. At 3.5 years from diagnosis, my grandmother is at moderate dementia; unable to recall my name although she recognizes me as a friendly face. She is not incontinent yet, but needs assistance with toileting, dressing, etc.
Chosen answer:
Answer by omg
Its different for everybody. My friends grandmother has it and she has had it for 5 or 6 years now but still recognizes me,my mother,my father,my grandmother,my friend, her daughter. She will only forget names every now and then but hey im 14 and forget names now and then but she knows who we are.

Why Do People Die From Alzheimer’s Disease?

Question posed by : Why do people die from alzheimer’s disease?
What causes alzheimer’s patients to die and is the short term or long term memory affected first?
Most detailed answer:
Answer by Zachary
Alzheimer’s patients die because they simply forget the basic things like how to eat, or how to use the bathroom.
It is a very horrible thing to see and all memory is affected eventually. There are many ways to prevent this disease though.
The most important thing to do is exercise at least 1 hour a day. This is proven to lessen the chance of getting the disease.

What Can Be Done Legally for a Relative Who Is in the Early Stages of Alzheimer’s? He Is Losing His Home,?

A question asked by Wendy M: What can be done legally for a relative who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s? He is losing his home,?
has lost his mind, and is a danger to himself…he could go off and forget a pot on the stove…
Sometimes he’s all there, and knows he is forgetting things, other times, he doesn’t know who we are..
Does SS pay to have someone come in and care for him? He served 4 years in the Military, so I guess that makes him eligible for benefits…I just don’t know where to start…
The best answer:
Answer by EvilAnna
Has he seen a doctor? Maybe he can get some medication that slows down Alzheimers.
And you may need to hire a nurse to look after him, if he is by himself.
If you do see a doctor I would also ask them about what else there is you can do to help him.

How Early Can You Be Tested for Alzheimer’s?

Question by Trisha P: How early can you be tested for Alzheimer’s?
At what age can you be tested for Alzheimer’s? This disease is on both sides of my family and I’m trying to find out how old you have to be before they will test you for it. I know that they can’t test for dementia until your 70′s, but what about Alzheimer’s?
No 1 answer:
Answer by Serra
There isn’t a blood test or tissue test that a doctor can do to find out whether or not you will develop Alzheimer’s. It’s usually diagnosed because the person begins having symptoms and other tests come back negative. Alzheimer’s is proven to be Alzheimer’s after the person’s passing, with a test on the brain then.
I know it’s hard not to worry about it when you have people on both sides of your family with Alzheimer’s but the only way is to wait and see if it develops, and meanwhile you can’t sit around worrying that you’ll get it. Live your life and don’t wait to see if you get Alzheimer’s. You will not do yourself any good worrying about it.
Good luck
