What you should know about Alzheimer's

http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/alzheimers-disease/overview.html?WT.mc_id=HL-D-I-NYT-MOD-FP-CM2-HL-0308-ALZ&WT.mc_ev=click&mkt=HL-D-I-NYT-MOD-FP-CM2-HL-0308-ALZ

I won't go into great detail, just say that if you suspect that you or someone you love has this dread disease, don't put off doing something about it. This primer from the health editors at the New York Times gives warning signs, discusses treatment options, medical tests (that at least two doctors told me did not exist) and some very practical suggestions for dealing with it. From experience, I know that this is good information and well worth your time if you are worried or even just curious. Wish I had had this about four years ago.
