Memory loss first sign of Alzheimer's disease
Continued from page 14
boomers will be turning 60. The
more everybody knows the better,"
she said.
Alzheimer's is a disease that
affects each individual differently.
"It's a huge roller coaster," Brennan
said.
The first sign of the disease is
memory loss. "Memory loss is very
different from forgetfulness. We all
get forgetful from time to time, with
our busy schedules," she said. "We
may forget what time an
appointment was and miss it but
someone with Alzheimer's may not
remember even making the
appointment."
Brennan emphasizes that
Alzheimer's is, not a normal part of
aging.
Through the years there have been
many changes to the way the disease
is viewed.
One hundred years ago, Dr. Alois
Alzheimer discovered the disease
but it was generally thought to be a
normal part of growing old. It wasn't
until the 1990s that scientists began
to make giant leaps in their research
of the disease.
In 1992, it was discovered that
there is a genetic link to the disease
and in 1997 the first drug to treat the
symptoms of Alzheimer's became
available.
Research on treatment is ongoing.
Currently researchers are looking
into a vaccine to prevent the disease
although this is still in preliminary
stages.
There are two known risk factors
of Alzheimer's, age (over the age of
65) and a family history of the
disease.
Brennan said the best way to
prevent dementia or Alzheimer's is
to exercise your body and your
mind.
"If you don't use it, you lose it,"
she said.
Brennan recommends learning a
new skill such as playing the piano
or a new language. "We often get so
busy in our 40s and 50s that we stop
learning new skills," she said.
"Research has shown that a brisk
walk, three times a week helps to get
the blood flowing and people who
exercise in the middle stages of their
lives usually continue on in their
later stages," she added.
Cross-word puzzles and keeping
up with reading are also ways to
tease the brain.
The Alzheimer's Society offers
support for people diagnosed with
the disease as well as for their family
members.
"We offer support and education,"
Brennan said. "There is a high
burnout rate for caregivers. We
always say that the disease does not
just affect the person with it but their
entire family as well."
The society offers six support
groups in Clinton, Hensall,
Goderich, Seaforth, Grand Bend and
Wingham.
"A lot of times people will leave
the group saying that when they first
signed up they didn't know what
they would get out of it," she said.
"But they leave really glad that they
came."
"We focus on educating people on
the progress of the disease and not to
dwell on what has been lost but to be
where the person is now, focus on
what's still good. Every day is a new
day," she said. "[After] someone is
diagnosed, there is still a lot of living
left to do.
Jan. 28 the society will be
holdinga walk for life, a fundraising
event at five locations across the
county including F.E. Madill
Secondary School in Wingham, St.
Anne's Catholic Secondary School
in Clinton, Suncoast Mall in
Goderich, South Huron District
High School in Exeter, and the
Seaforth Public School in Seaforth.
