HOW COME I DON'T REMEMBER???

As everyone knows, the older you get the more weak and hearing impaired you are. But how would you feel if you couldn't remember what happened yesterday, last period, or even 5 minutes ago. It's even scarier when you do not even know that you have it, until one day you can't remember anything. Living with Alzheimer's disease is one of the worst diseases to live through. Not remembering your name, where you are, and who people are is not an easy task to live through. In an article titled, "Living With Alzheimer’s Before a Window Closes" describes the symptons and the lonliness one goes through while living with this awful disease. This article also inscribes the statistic that five million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s disease, and as years go by these numbers go higher.


In the 1980s, the social movement of Alzheimer's disease had begun. Many families began to be more aware of the disease and began to attend Congressional meetings. In 1986 Congress passed the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia Act, establishing 28 federally funded AD centers to provide a resource for in-depth evaluation of patients.
