As I posted back in November, continually generating content for the blog has gotten to be too much of a burden. While I am committed to updating you on any changes in my life (or, perhaps, lack of changes) relative to my story in Beating the Dementia Monster, I don't plan on commenting anymore about Alzheimer's news. But I am hearing from folks wondering why I've been so quiet -- it's because nothing is really happening.
I am in a whole slew of research studies, and I get some feedback from them. I recently had one MRI and one amyloid PET scan. I'm supposed to have a tau PET scan sometime, but they haven't scheduled it yet. It's been several months since the PET scan, and a month or two since the MRI. They are in no rush to give me any feedback, so I don't expect to hear from them for some time yet. But, based on my results from 2022 and how well I feel, I don't expect any surprises. But I'll post when I do hear back.
When I told my neurologist in Seattle that I didn't see the point in coming back to her, she asked me to continue, but relax to coming once in three years. So this fall will make 3 years. That will include the full suite of psychometric testing. I'll share the outcome of that.
Along with the MRI, I did have a scaled back -- but still intense -- set of psychometric tests. Because it's for research, they don't tell me the results. But I've taken enough of these to be able to tell when I've done well. And I'm sure I did fine.
So Amy and I make it to the gym most days. We attend to our diets and stay socially active. My biggest problem is sleep, and I'm lucky to get 5 and a half hours. But my Fitbit tells me that I'm usually getting at least an hour of deep sleep. As we said in Beating the Dementia Monster, deep sleep is most critical for Alzheimer's prevention and treatment.
If anything exciting happens, I'll post here.
Having Dementia knocked my mother off her life and made her live like a mad person, I didn't know how the better part of her life eluded her, my mind was completely splitted in two, She showed a severe decline in her mental and cognitive skills in the last few years. Her neurologist prescribed Donepezil and Memantine for her and after using it for about 6 months we noticed her quality of life had deteriorated greatly where she was mostly bedridden, she cries and sometimes she packs her bags wanting to go home I always try to convince her that this is her home, she keeps asking after the dead. I am very glad my partner sought help and now she is free from all signs of psychosis. She was healed with some herbal supplements from Dr. Rohan (BRONGEE). I believe there is no act of kindness that is too small that is why I am sharing this testimony here. If you have anybody who is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease/Dementia, I will advise you to opt out from western medication and go for BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENT. you will have every reason to be happy again just as I am. You can contact Dr. Rohan via email, dr.rohanronjohn@gmail.com or text to him directly on WhatsApp via +393510553632. It may also help
