Good thing, but who'd really want to be tested?
All it would do is give you a longer time to be worried and upset about it.

That's 800 lb elephant in the newsgroup especially those of us that have
parents with this disease. I'm hoping that science will have some miracle
drug in the next 10 years. I figure since my mother and my Dad's mother
had it ( my Dad passed at the age of 67) that I'll probably have it too.
My mother was very active mentally and physically until she got dementia.
Sometimes if it's meant to be -- it's meant to be. Would I get tested??
Ask me again in 10 years......June |

I would want Hubby and me to both be tested. If you know ahead of time, you
at least have some idea of how to prepare and plan. But then, I'm a belt
and suspenders type anyway.

Hi Beni,
Absolutely right. Learning a foreign language, a musical
intrument, playing games such as scrabble, chess, crossword puzzles,
etc., exercise and diet are also probably effective. About a dozen
interventions have good risk/benefit/effort ratios, and all have
surfaced within the last ten years. The next ten will see much more
effective interventions as well as prove out the ones that are now only
probable. The test should be further evaluated and made widely
available ASAP. Those who don't wish to forge their on destiny as much
as possible can pass.
Get your head out of the sand, Evelyn!

Hi,
Our paths seldom cross, but she seems to have a penchant for
picking the perfect reply. I doubt I'll be able to resist future
temptations.
