Well I only got one answer wrong so I guess there is still hope for me!

I didn't do the test as I don't believe my memory is going south, it's pretty good for my years actually. But want to share what the FDA has just approved for Alzheimers and even though it's come out weak in trials. Only can run about $50K per year and if you all have no interests maybe your parents/grandparents. I'm probably the oldest here anyway.

And what the drug is said to do is reduce the amyloid plaque in the brain...and FYI, that is what Grape Seed Extract does and for about 50cents a day. I know many of you enjoy making fun of Grape Seed Extract but, how about this....Losing one's memory is a horrible horrible situation.

Dude111 · 07-02-2021, 04:46 AM

Thank you sweetie,I know you mean well

Of course I mean well, I would even share "saving the brain" with enemies and I've even done that on one of the forums you directed me to, the members are pretty horrid, but I still share info as everyone is aging and dementia and losing one's mind is a terrible terrible thing. I've read too many Caregiver forums on all this and their loved ones who are gone, memory wise...

On this issue, it's the caregivers who lose their lives trying to take care of the one's who have "lost their minds"....these people have no idea what is going on as the disease advances and many end up in homes to wait out their end. Very very sad.

I've attempted to talk "prevention" here and Health talk is a no no for the most part I was told.

As most of you know my husband is in a Memory care facility suffering from Lewybody Dementia.(Robin Williams had the same thing) But I must admit that this post is hilarious!

My hubby is doing well, considering. Doesn't talk much and cannot walk but still recognizes people. It's a sad thing to watch.

I can't see the humor here, and Penny sorry to hear about your husband, very tragic in my mind.

Just talking about this subject with some others and I have my gut feeling on so much of this memory loss issues, is the push for statin drugs over the last 20-30 yrs...I've read how these drugs have lowered the cholesterol so much and especially to the brain and our brain needs cholesterol.

My parents generation escaped these drugs and they lived long lives with a good brain.

Yeah, I know we should not talk health, but without good health, what is there.

good lord, I am suppose to take Statins for my cholesterol but need to take them at night so 75% time I forget. Hearing this, glad I don't take them as much as I should.

Keeping a sense of humor is very vital to one's well being. Sometimes it's not easy but your post really made me laugh. Nothing wrong with that!

I guess not, I don't see the humor of what I posted. SOH is important and I suppose we see things differently. Not important so I won't go looking for the humor.

I just looked at #5 above and it was in response to the OP post and I don't see any humor, information Yes.

Maybe forgetting to take the drug is saving you.
