Alzheimers is a condition in which the neurons are damaged causing memory loss. If the doctor tells you that eventually you will have it, how would you prepare for this condition? What would you do to lessen the bad impact it will have to your family and your life? Thanks for any valuable commnet.

There is not much one can do. Sometimes it's slow progressing and for others very fast. Maybe insist onr nursing care to relieve the family, but not much else. My father in law passed away with this in 2002. He fell, broke a few ribs and never recovered. He had even forgotten how to chew.

Actually, I really don't know what to do if I'm knowing if Alzheimers going to happen. Will be really down at first but after that before the condition get worst, it's best to settle all the paper works such as a will, nominee for insurances, my bank account or anything else to do with assets. All this will be handled over to my children. Hopefully they would take care of me afer the condition get worst.

Guess its never possible to prepare for such an ailment...But still I would like to record every moment henceforth with my family and loved ones so that later it can be used to remind me..I would say everyone how much I love them and never want to forget them..And distribute all my loved and precious possessions to my loved one as my memory and finally say them to send me to a nursing home so that I dont be a botheration to my family's and my safety.. Hope nobody has to suffer this and Have a niceday!
