Alzheimer's Disease

 What would it feel like if you were in your 40's or 50's and one day you wake up and realize that you constantly can't remember where you left your keys or your phone? Or how would it feel like if you can't even remember your own name or who your family is? How long do you think you will be able to survive with the disease you have? Alzheimer's... lots of people think that they know what it is as in they will say on yeah it makes you lose your memory well so can dementia but they aren't the same thing. Alzheimer's slowly will start to erase lots of memory from you brain and it will destroy more and more things as the stages get worse and worse. This disease is genetic and can spread around in the family especially if someone from your family had the disease it is more possible that you may inherit the gene. You can get your blood drawn and tested to see if you do got the deadly disease. People who are diagnosed with the disease tend to have a lifespan of up to 6-8 years but some tend to live longer than 15-20 years.
