What’s the likelihood I have Alzheimer’s?!
Question:
What’s the likelihood I have Alzheimer’s?
My dad has it (dementia) and was diagnosed around age 76. But I think he had it YEARS AGO (he’d forget words and say “whatchamacallit” instead or forget he turned the tea pot on). I hear it’s being diagnosed in people younger and younger. CNN said if one of your parents/grandparents was diagnosed before age 65, you have a 50% chance of getting it. Fifty percent?! I’m only 34 but I’m forgetting things like you wouldn’t believe! I sometimes forget words in the middle of a sentence. It could be stress and the doc says it is. But a 51 YO woman on the cover of USA Today was told the same thing – then she found out she had Alzheimers! And another guy found out in his late 40s! Has ANYONE ever been diagnosed in their 30s?

Oh and I had CT Scan on my brain but guess what! I forgot to mention that. No kidding!
