17. I am in the early stages of demementia and memory loss. I was told it can't be reversed but it can be slowed

Dementia and memory loss runs in my family pretty deep so its definitely genetic (although some of my past life style choices probably didn't help ). I take Aricept currently to help slow it. I also try and do things like I did before computers. I use a Thesaurus and a Dictionary, physical ones, when I need to look up things. I have about 30 years worth of National Geographic magazines. I'll pull some randomly and read them (it's amazing how much stuff is in those that I had forgotten lol). Also reading, basically exercising your brain and memory however you can. Not sure if you're in the same boat, but I need to do these things to keep the Grey Matter from going dark as long as possible. Not saying it can't be reversed but it depends on the causes according to my Neurologist and in my case its my body or my brain over the next 15 years. Most people on my fathers side need cared for by 75 but in cruel twist I have 5 direct relatives going back to my Great Grandparents who lived to be 100+. None of them knew it as far as I could tell.

Don't fret and don't look for miracles. Exercise the mind, it's good for the soul!!

Oh, and I ace that stupid test every year wink wink lol
