didgens Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I know this is a random question ,, but how many here with CH have a direct family member who has or had suffered from Alzheimers later in life ? thanks Quote
spiny Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Nope. No dementia or Alzheimers at all in my family for at least the past 2 generations. Beyond that, they all lived into their 80's plus. They may have experienced dementia and it not been noticed. Quote
Fabalicious Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Hey Didg! I come from German lineage on my fathers side and American Indian on my mothers side. My dads side has no problems at all to spite the incredible amounts of abuse they put their bodies through, they have no major illnesses, and live about the normal amount of time for a human. My moms side of the family does have dementia as an inherited trait. They live forEVER, but all of them start to display symptoms of dementia around the age of 75, and it increasingly gets more severe until they pass, usually around the age of 95+. The only problem is that they live forever but by that time, they have no idea who anyone is, where they are, and seem to be living about 50 years in the past. I have done some research with my family on both sides and so far I am the only one of us with CH. Lucky me.. Quote
didgens Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 I was reading an article about the plaques that form in alzhiemers patients and just wondered if there was any connection. now I cant even remember where the article got to.. sometimes I follow the rabbit to far down the hole. Quote
