Joe Ferguson forever Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Pretty big deal. Who will get it, why or why not, when it becomes widely available? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/alzheimers-diagnosis-treatment-blood-test-b2482854.html Quote
TheyCallMeAndy Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Just lost my wife’s grandfather to that disease, it’s sad to see how stress can rapidly trigger its progression. Quote
Joe Ferguson forever Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 i think it's a no brainer to get the test. we have some decent but not great drugs. they may work better at an earlier stage and the test can detect the disease 20 years before symptoms begin. hope it comes out soon. Quote
Irv Posted January 26 Posted January 26 My whole family has had it. My mom died from it. Grandmother died from it. I'd like to take that test to plan for my future/finances. 1 Quote
