Alzheimer’s research is a subject very close to my heart, so I was pleased to see it was included as a topic at one of the fringe meetings at the Conservative Party conferences.
Prof Clive Ballard, Director of Research for the Alzheimer’s Society, describes in this video the huge challenges faced in securing future research funding, and bureaucracy in the UK which hinders progress.
We may need these drugs one day, or indeed our loved ones, and it makes no sense at all not to encourage the speedy development of future medicines for Alzheimer’s, as well as other diseases.
I wonder – which will demand more intensive research? Prostate Cancer or Alzheimer’s disease?!!
My name is Kathy and I am the full time caregiver for my eighty one year-old Dad who has Alzheimer’s and lives with me in North Carolina.
When my Mom died in 2004 and Dad moved in with me, I had no idea what to do. But day by day, I found ways to cope, and even enjoy having my Dad with me.
So I started writing a blog at http://www.KnowItAlz.com, which shows the “lighter” side of caring for someone with dementia.
After a while, I added over 100 pages of helpful information and tips for caregivers. We even have a Chat room so caregivers can communicate with each other from home. Art and music are a very large part of my Dad’s therapy.
Please pass this link along to anyone you feel would enjoy it.
Thanks!
