Alzemiers!!!Please help me on this one!!!
I'm really scared. My grandma (on my dad's side) has Alzemiers...it's where you forget your past and aren't really aware of your surrondings...My mom's brother has something like that, so the disease is on both sides of the family. It scares me thinking that I might get it. I get sidetracked really easily and I just know Alzemiers is in my genes. I'm 13...Do you think they will have a cure for it by the time I'm gorwn up?

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
We wouldent know but stop worrying so much..you are 13 and have your whole life ahead of you. Just be healthy and safe and everything will be okay! Go live life to the fullest..your 13..dont spend so much time worrying about diseases when your older.

Sweety,
To ease some anxiety, Alzeimers is not proven to be technically genetic, just yet anyways.
Sickness affects many of us and it's really hard for us to see a loved one going through the pain and suffering it causes. Unfornately this is one pain and suffering most of us are unable to avoid. I suggest just relating to your grandma as you normally would if she didn't have the illness (if she forgets what you said 15 minutes prior, pretend what she says is new). She is likely reliving her very old past (alzheimers tends to affect short term memory) so try asking questions about when she was young, and this I gaurantee you will make your grandma a happy women!
As for being scared about developing the disease yourself, girl, your way to young to be worrying about it. You should be concentrating on things you really love in life (or that crush that sits next to you in science class .. hee hee). The truth is, no one really know what each of our futures hold, we can only enjoy the moment we have the opportunity to enjoy, right now. If that makes any sense ... so I suggest, go get that chocolate fudge cake with ice cream and whipped cream, rent a movie, grab some friends and laugh your hearts out ... ;) Hey, if you ever get scared, feel lonely feel free to drop a line ... I know what it's like to feel afraid of death, and have had family members dye due to not only alzheimers, but parkinsons's diseas as well, and have felt utterly and totally alone myself at times ... it's natural ... just make sure you reach out to someone and recieve the comfort you need.

im sorry, but there's nothing you can do about it but pray and hope. it just runs in the family. my great aunt has alzemiers and shes having a great life. i mean, it really isnt as bad as u think.

Hey.. Im not sure if they will have a cure by the time your older, I dont think anyone is really sure.. They are working each and every day to get one step closer to finding a cure, so just hope they will. And if you are scared you will get it at 13, dont be cause there is like no way you will. It will not happen 'till much older if you do, (which I hope you dont).. But anyways, you're too young to worry about this each and every day. Just LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST and enjoy every day

I dont no if there is a cure, but i heard that the more you smile and have fun with your family, and other stuff like that delays it. But thats just what i have heard. SORRY!! alzemiers is so sad, i saw the notebook! Ok well hope i helped!

Well, since this disease is on both sides of your family, there is a possibility of you getting it. I'm sorry to say but there probably won't be a cure for it but I bet there will be new treatments and such that will help you. You never know, with all of this technology in this world, there could be a cure but there may not. Scientists and doctors have been trying to find a cure for Cancer but they haven't yet but there have been treatments that help people stay alive longer. You need to just hope and keep praying every night for a cure to be discovered.

Sweetie, I'm sorry. But god only knows if there will be a cure by the time your grown up. You never know though, we're always coming up with new technology. Keep praying and wishing for this and maybe your thoughts will come true. Spend as much time as you can with your grandma and always pray for her. Good bless!
