This news yesterday got me thinking once again about the possibility of cursed dementia happening to me.
"Scientists at Brunel University have developed a test which they believe could eventually indicate whether people in their 40s have a higher chance of going on to develop the condition.
Although it does not offer a cast-iron prediction that the patient will develop or be free from dementia, it does allow those displaying indicators - tiny areas of damage in the brain - to receive early treatment and adapt their lifestyles as a preventative measure."
This test might be a better alternative before booking appointment at a Swiss clinic (or maybe this might be the time to do it whilst all my faculties (?) are still more or less intact!). This is especially because I live alone, IE not married or with a partner, and there wont be anyone to help me with stuff, if it starts to happen to me at any stage later on.
There would be time to get my affairs in order and somehow try to book a care home maybe somewhere warm where I could go safely let my brain melt in beautiful surroundings. Where do I sign up for this test?
Would I want to know? YES, I MOST DEFINITELY WOULD.
