My first memories of alzheimer’s are of the smell and feeling of the familiar, but the truth is, Alzheimer’s is a disease in which the brain loses the ability to function properly. It is a slow and gradual process that can take decades to get. I’ve seen and read many of the medical books and articles on the illness, but the basic information is all a mystery to me.
One of the first things we hear about Alzheimers is that it only affects people in their 80s and 90s. I always thought that was really weird because most people live until they’re 95 or so and yet it is still considered to be the most common age in which to develop the disease. I’m not sure I’d consider myself to be in that group, even though I’m now in my mid-40s.
Alzheimers is a fairly rare disease that starts in the brain and progresses rapidly. It is believed to be caused by a complex set of chemicals called amyloid plaques and neurofibril tangles. The plaques are thought to be the main cause of dementia, and one of the symptoms of Alzheimers is a loss of memory. However, there is a genetic component to the disease as well.
Alzheimer’s seems to be a pretty common disease among the elderly, and it’s often associated with memory loss. However, it is not as common as dementia. There are a few types of Alzheimers, such as Lewy body disease, in which the brain doesn’t work in the same way as normal, or Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, in which there is a rapid degradation of brain tissue that is reminiscent of Alzheimer’s, but the disease doesn’t progress much.
Both of these are diseases that are more commonly linked to memory loss than Alzheimer’s, and so the memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s seems a bit less mysterious than the memory loss associated with Lewy body disease. A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease typically involves a series of cognitive tests. The tests are designed to assess the patients’ understanding of what is happening around them, and the ability to function.
We’re talking about two different illnesses here. The first is a disease of the brain, the second is a disease of the mind. Both are very similar in nature, but there is quite a difference between the two. Alzheimer’s disease is a disease of the brain, while Lewy body disease is a disease of the mind. Both are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, which leads to the death of neurons as well as the death of brain cells themselves.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the death of brain cells is the cause of Alzheimers, but it’s the death of brain cells that will cause the disease in the first place. The death of brain cells can be slowed down with certain medications, but it’s also possible for the disease to cause a person to have a stroke.
Alzheimers is a common neurodegenerative condition that is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, but its the death of brain cells (or neurons) that causes the disease. Alzheimer’s is a common neurodegenerative condition that is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, but its the death of brain cells that causes the disease.
There are a few reasons why someone with Alzheimer’s can have trouble speaking or moving. They may have trouble speaking because they have a brain with too few neurons. They may have trouble moving because they have a brain that is too small. But in both cases, the brain is still able to function, but the neurons are too damaged.
By the time a person with Alzheimers is in their 60s, they have enough neurons to function in life, but there are more damaged brain cells than there are normal neurons. This means that the person is unable to speak, and can only move their eyes and mouth. If someone with Alzheimer’s is unable to move, they’re in a lot of pain.
