//Setting aside the cause, while Alzheimers is distressing for the friends and relatives, i have known many people who have retreated happily into their own world and not been particularly distressed by it if carefully managed. I would name Parkinson's Disease, cancer, MS and Motor Neurone Disease as much crueller afflictions and these only head a long list.//
Whilst, as I've already indicated, Alzheimers does not only affect friends and relatives, but can create the most appalling terrors for the sufferer, the above does nothing to enhance the reputation of an alleged God of love.
ubasses, // Further problems occur when a lot of people do not get the necessary brain scans to identify the type of illness and they are told they have dementia.//
Absolutely right. In fact only yesterday I gave someone here a link to information on another condition, often misdiagnosed as Alzheimers, which turned out to be something the patient's doctors had since suggested.
