Alzheimer-Alice in from oblivion

By qu'Alois Alzheimer 1901 already gives an explanation of disorders observed in young patients. The century will not be too much for that knowledge of this disease progresses slowly and thus well as refined diagnoses. Now, reveal the extent of a phenomenon: 860 000 people in France are concerned, including Alice, for this scourge implies exponentially more than 100 000 new cases each year.
Suddenly battle in our country, as often late. For the story that we still call new disease in the United States illness public. Strange irony that this lack of recognition of a disease that will lead to precisely the same non-recognition of relatives. But it no longer smile Alice.
At the beginning there are some disorders of memory, words and names we do not recall, which are on the tip of a language increasingly hesitant. Everything comes gradually, gradually so to speak, and it is a tragedy of this disease, insidiously, without warning, hidden behind inattention, fatigue, aging, depression. "Head in the air," Alice was slow to finish his sentences, to honor an appointment, to reposition in time a meeting.
Then comes the first implications in the everyday: the keys that we seek and research, to street-side if famillière but it no longer recognizes the danger of the road you get longer The fridge and the races that could not manage more ... Disease of the brain to degenerate it deprives each new stage patients other features.
The character of the person can then according to numerous testimonies quickly change from where an additional challenge for the entourage. Bitterness, aggression, delusions ... bring a new dimension that clearly means that nothing will be as before. Conscience or not? doctors and a majority of households respond in the negative. Indeed Alice often said "I am not sick" - "when I returned to the house?" "You think I could renew?" Not sure but there are no periods of lucidity which also easily explain the link between Alzheimer's and depression, anxiety, withdrawal into itself.
The memory of this fades barely emerged phrases are repeated ad infinitum - the evocation of the past remains, but with less time mark. Then he disappears in another world, that of oblivion, dreams can be and I do not know what Wonderland, Alice. In these times, she said "I go away ... I was in my dreams ...".
The autonomy is lost gradually, soon it will be permanent bed rest. The core functions will no longer be assured, it will be malnutrition, vulnerability to infections, the total isolation.
Alice did not deserve it, his family either.
Alzheimer's is a black hole that aspires the human brain is the ground of our memory that shirks beneath our feet - a world full of empty sets. Alice dark each day and part with us and nothing will change. It remains to remember the beautiful things as the lovely movie. For surely the worst is yet to be scheduled until the end that will figure issue.
Meanwhile, all is not disrupted: Alice is nice, elegant, caring visitor, will launch the conversation she abandoned immediately.

But the eyes are tired, sets and often sad because time is no friend of the disease felt. His most poignant testimony, Alice summarized in 2 words: "It is long".
