I will google that. I haven't heard of that. It's pretty scary to me. I can remember my Grandmother who most of my family say and have said for years, I am a "clone" of - being eccentric. I truly believe that she had BP - like me, and later in years, she had a severe case of Alzheimer's and was just in misery her last years. I am comforted some by the fact that she wasn't diagnosed - and I was - so maybe the damage can be corrected. Time will tell.
Thanks so much. Does your relative have Alzheimer's or BP?
I havent come up with any facts that there is a connection, and I agree it is pretty scary, I do know that at this very moment they have found a new Med and they are testing it at Aberdeen University in the UK, it is supposed to reverse Altzheimers,it is called Remba"' they are going into the 3 year of testing and it should be on the market as a prescribed drug in 2 years, so there is hope out there .Put Remba into your search engine and see what they say ,I have a relative who is afflicted and I have been doing a lot of research to help him.Good luck let us know how you are doing
Thank you! I know that bipolar has a genetic link, and without a doubt, my father had an undiagnosed case, as well as, my paternal grandmother. I have heard that Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia are also genetic.
It's pretty scary to me at 40 to think I might be like my grandmother and start the downhill slope in 10 years. Luckily, I have gotten the treatment I need for the BP, so it might not happen that soon! BUT, it might! SCARY!
Thanks so much!
You know I havent heard there is a connection but I will google it and see what I come up with , and post here, It is an interesting question.
