My mother in law had Alzheimer's. I don't believe that it can be cured but with appropriate medicines the symptoms can be delayed; for years sometimes. I think that it effects everyone differently. Some people can carry on quite well, whilst others, like my MIL go downhill very rapidly. In the UK they are making it very difficult to get the right medicines in some area because it they are so expensive. Money will always be more important than people in our Society. That's a sickness in itself!

well it cant be cured which is really sad...it really must be difficult to manage your MIL it really must be hard for the family...and oh yeah the medicines...well if the cost of the medicines used can really cure people...no one would mind spending the money...it hurts more when u spend so much knowing there is not ultimate cure to the disease....and i sure agree with u ...Money is more respected than people...n for sure...not all the money in the world can cure this sickness in itself ...thanks for sharing :)
