Deb the author Member Registered: 08/24/05 Posts: 57	I have no sense of direction. None. After finding my way here yesterday I had to have Cagebird link me back! What I lack in sense of direction I make up for in listening and sharing skills. I am just so happy to have found this site. Aren't baby boomer women just amazing!

Sandpiper Member Registered: 06/19/05 Posts: 1158 Loc: Kissimmee, Florida	Deb the author, Where in Illinois are you from. Was born and raised there. From a small rural area composed of three towns close to each other. Rock Falls, Sterling, and Dixon. Been in Florida for 19 years. Love it here. Glad you had help finding your way back to us.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I've been wondering if Alheizmers has always been around or if it is something fairly new. I don't remember anyone speaking of great-grandparents suffering its effects or anything written about it way back when? Anyone know?

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	I don't really know anything for sure Chatty, but I would "guess" that it's been around forever - just didn't have a label of Alzheimers way back when....we just lumped all these disorders into the category of dementia and left it at that. I suspect that as diagnosis techniques were refined, they were able to really see slight differences in TYPES of dementia - there are so many.

smilinize Member Registered: 11/08/03 Posts: 3512 Loc: outer space	Chatty's post makes me wonder if alzheimers might come from something we are taking into our bodies. I grew up in a community stuck in the nineteenth century. We grew all our own food, never went to doctors, didn't take medicine, and I absolutely never heard of anyone with alzheimers or the symptoms of it. Hmmmm. smile

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Another thought might be that people are living longer. Isn't it a disease that comes with age? This post makes me think of ADD/ADHD. I never heard of anyone having this when I was a kid. However, I can look back at my elementary school and quess at who may have had it.
