> When author Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with dementia, he was shocked
to discover doctors could do little to help. For despite the fact that
the condition affects more than 700,000 Britons (a million by 2025),
research into its causes and treatment has been chronically under-funded.

Very insightful article continues at any of the above links.

Best to all,
Deborah

I don't know why; they're links to a well-known url-shortening website
and a well-known newspaper. If the article weren't so large, I'd go ahead
and post the whole thing here. It's primary interest would be to those
affected by early-onset Alz, if that's any consolation.

Gwen, I hope your health is better than when I was last reading here, a
few months ago. Not much change in my part of the dementia world. (My
mother, in other words.)

Best,
Deborah

Deborah, thanks for mentioning the article again.  I read it and am glad I
did.  I'm too old for it to affect me, but it should be of much interest to
younger people who are concerned about alzheimers.
I'm doing fairly well now, thank you for being concerned.  The Parkinsons
seems to be under control with the medication, but it has a side effect of
making me very, very sleepy, and I take it 3 times a day.  I seem to spend
more time asleep than awake these days!
