hi, sad to say there is not a whole lot we can do i face the same thing, but we can help to get it later in life ,  you must keep your mind busy, learn something every day , play games, puzzles any thing that makes you think, get rest and eat right , hope soon they will have a cure for this until than we do the best we can. don't go threw life scared , it might skip you , so don't think your going get it live life and enjoy. ....Heart

wow wish i could say take a pill and its cured but sad there is not one.   you need to eat good, not junk, get rest, keep your mind busy.   my mom and her mom had it , so theres a big chance i can get it, my mom got at 65 so really scary, but i can't live my life waiting so i just take care of myself , go on net read about it and what you can do, exec rise is good for the mind. but most just be prepared , know what plans you want your family to do for you and that way if it happens you will feel better knowing they will take care of you, but don't wait it may never happen , you may be passed over . i pray to GOD and i don't claim i will get it. best of luck.    HEART
