Re: NEW LIKELY CAREGIVER HERE.

My wife was recently diagnosed with EOAL. Age 54, and height/weight lean and for the most part healthful. We were doing basic testing with a Neurologist over a few years and he leaned towards depression. Now at UTSW in which test results have confirmed. The lumbar tests resulted in high PTAU and a ...

Re: 24 and 4/4

Hi all, I’m really really sad to be joining this forum. I found out today that I’m 4/4 for APOE4 and have no idea where to start. I’m 24, just graduated college, I have no family history of dementia or AZ (I did lose my grandfather in his late 60s to a heart attack though, so there’s some cardiac b...

Re: New member

I haven’t been on here in quite awhile so just seeing this reply. Next phase for my mom would have been pretty costly & involved traveling to the clinic quite a bit for treatments —infusions and special type of sauna type treatments—as toxins exposure was determined to be at play with her demen...

Re: Living my best APOE 3/4 Life

Hi Everyone, I am one month into the Bredesen Protocol and loving life in San Diego. I saw my grandmother and aunt die from Alzheimer's and now my mother is 8 years into her diagnosis and in stage 6e.

Re: Not surprised!

I just learned that I’m apoe3/4 and I’m not surprised at all… my dad and my paternal grandmother passed from early onset Alz and I’m opting to find out as much as I can about a disease that, when my grandmother was diagnosed in the early 80s, there wasn’t even an Alz chapter in Houston. My mom help...

Re: Very unexpected diagnose...

I am 36 years old woman. Don't have history of AD in my family (although most of my family died of cancer). I did genetic test out of curiosity and imagine my surprise when I found out that I am carrier of 2 copies of Apoe gene! Never had any major health issues but I am overweight and working on t...

Re: Caring for a caregiver

Hi Dan, Don't worry about the venting - we all need it! And, I hear you, my Mum is not good at some parts of the protocol, and she too will agree to do things and then not do them - frustrating! But... Mum will do exercise for her carers, if not for me or Dad. Can you enlist someone else, friend or ...
