Alzheimer’s At 51: One Family’s Story Facing The Early Onset Of Alzheimer | Megyn Kelly TODAY
We have got to find a cure for this horrific disease!!!! 😭😭😭
Yessss so many lives lost and still being taken because of this killer.
Many things can help prevent most diseases. Exercise, fresh air, getting enough Vit D-k. Our brains need exercise ! Start using your non dominate hand to do tasks.
Reading, studying, doing puzzles. 😊
I’m 51 can’t even imagine
Bless you for speaking out. Not an easy situation as it seems more and more families are dealing with this. 💜
READ. The entire time you're awake. No music, No TV. READ
Yes ! Our brains need exercise. Just sitting and watching tv will turn our brains into “jello”.
Where's the support groups for patients?
Life is just cruel for some people. I'm 79 with some conditions but this humbles me.
Really how do you put yourself first, I'm a nurse such an exhausting but loving position
The wife is incredible. She has a huge amount in her plate. I hope she is taking care of herself.
Beautiful love God BLESS you !!
Life sucks for some... TERRIFYING to know what is ahead
I need to get checked out because I have signs at 53 but scared to death because my grandmother had it. I won’t live like that or have any of my family be burdened with me. This is just me but I would leave before it takes me
I am 59 and I have a dementia. My father died of dementia induced pneumonia.
Jim, I'm so sorry. This is a horrible disease. I hope you have a loving family who will support you
😢 What An Amazing Couple😢 l admire their ❤
💜💜💜💜stay strong for a cure been through this horrific disease with my mom 10 years
Oh trust me I’ve seen it first hand the carer goes down quicker than the sick person
This is so scary never heard of this year's ago now s many r getting it younger my mother in law has it and my mom both eighty six mom started five years ago mother in law has had it ten years me and hubby r scared we will get it
Peggy Ghirardello probably the food we are marketed...or air
Wow, he sounds really good I don't see any mental decline. Typically people I see with Alzheimer's disease are far worse off and have huge problems and struggles. Makes me wonder how this diagnosis was done at his age.
He would have difficulty understanding and completing simple tasks. Unable to fill out paperwork at the doctor, unable to read a clock, repeating the same thing over and over, and getting lost in what should be familiar areas.
There are some medications to treat Alzheimer’s now. Can’t reverse damage but can slow down the progression.
In Jalisco, Mexico there is a family members who start getting it about 30ish and die by early 50s.
This is very interesting. I had the misconception that people with Alzheimer's are unaware that they are having problems and that it's other people who notice. He's the first person I have heard of who realized himself that something was wrong. I always believed the conventional wisdom of "if you think you have Alzheimer's then you probably don't".
My boyfriend of 5 years just turned 41 and in the last 5 months I don't recognize him 90-95% of the time anymore, some signs point in the direction of early onset Alzheimer's one of them is the denial of any possibility other than his belief that he is well, nothing is wrong with him and I am the enemy.
My dad had Alzheimer’s and was very aware something was wrong. He’d see a commercial about the disease and ask me if I thought maybe he had that. I was in full denial up until it was obvious. It’s painful to watch someone know something’s off.
Unfortunately it’s not true I knew something was wrong couple years ago but insurance wouldn’t approve Cat scan n pep test , 2 months ago after pushing my doc finally got approved mind u I’m 45 n unfortunately it’s early onset some of us are very aware of our memory n habits it was small but noticeable to only me my wife just blew me off but I knew something was wrong man I wish I was wrong , I’m still me n completely alert but the scariest part is when will I not be n will I know it thank you for letting me share ,
I am living with early onset of disease
Please read "End of Alzheimer's". There is hope, earlier the better
Great show again, Megyn!. The best show yet!
Hello, what kind of "doctor treatment" took out the brain that with the medical complex "wellness drugs".
It is terrible the little girl on just before this video has it as a toddler
See Maria shriver got work done on her face

❤❤❤❤
I am glad mom got it later in life mother in law to but just
Ike women getting breast cancer lot younger now thirties now u see cases alzsheimers dementia forty some younger
Probably the food we are marketed. We are letting multinationals destroy us with their own rules to make money. This was unknown in younger people in the 60 s 70 s 80 s.
Too much processed food. Sugar in everything. Sugar is horrible. Not enough exercise. I don’t even see kids playing outside anymore. And Americans are now 47% obese ! That’s horrible !
Eat real foods, stay in a healthy weight and get outside and power walk for 10 min.
