Alzheimers Posted: 08-16-04 13:00pm
I have heard that a head trauma, can
bring on symptoms of alzheimers.
How true, if true, is this theory? What
proof, if any is there? Would a person
suffering a head trauma, and alzheimer
symptoms followed within a short time,
more than likely be a coincidence or not?
What if there is a family history, or
incidence of, this disease?

My husband developed vascular dementia
(which has striking similarity to
alzheimers disease)after 12 years
previously suffering ischemic heart
disease, from then on he suffered varying
stages of circulatory problems and up
until 3years ago he seemed to be coping
ok, then he suffered a series of tia's
since then he has gradually got worse with
refernce to his memory, and now has no get
up and go whatsoever it seems to be an
effort for him to settle on any one thing
I understand he may well be depressed, it
seems to be no wonder when all the doctors
at the hospitals seem to have given up on
him, he has seen consultants,phyciatrists
and has had test for epilepy, brain scans
for this + that but no-one ever seems to
tell us anything, is there anyone else you
know who is suffering simmilar
circumstances and is there anything can be
done for him as he is only 58 but seems to
be presenting 88. Help i'm at my wits end

Janice - the cardiovascular problems that
you mentioned as well as alzheimer's are
all strongly associated with sleep apnea.
Make sure he doesn't have it.

But could teens ever get alziemers.....
I have been under alot of stress and
depression and lately I have not been able
to remember things as clearly..
try and get some rest, maybe because of
the stress and depression you can't sleep
properly which would effect you by not
remebering things clearly.
Its happened to me if it continues
you should seek professional help.
P.S will check to see if there have been
any studies on teens and alzheimers.
Case-control study has found a
statistically significant association
between head trauma and alzheimer's
disease.
The early symptoms of alzheimer's disease
include forgetfulness, loss of
concentration,inappropriate
behavior,etc.
Flax seed powder may improve nerve system
health, which is important in the
treatment of alzheimer’s disease.
Ginkgo extract helps maintain peripheral
circulation to brain. The acetyl group of
acetyl l-carnitine contributes to the
production of the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine, which is required for
mental function, and therefore may be
involved in the treatment of alzheimer
’s disease. Thiamin is essential for
normal nerve function. Vitamin b12
assists maintenance of a healthy nervous
system. Phosphatidylserine plays a role
in neurotransmission and may support brain
function and boost memory.
