"Evergreen"
My mother had Parkinson's symptoms as well as Alzheimer's, and she also had
little strokes, so she had Multi-Infarct dementia as well. It seems that a lot
of people with Alzheimer's have these other conditions as well. And
there are so many other diseases and conditions that result in dementias
that have symptoms that are much like those of Alzheimer's. I want to
try to gather as much information as I can about these other diseases
and link them here.
Update: My sister passed away of Parkinson's Disease a few years ago. I will try to add as many links as I can find to resources about
this disease. And I will do a memorial for my sister as time allows, and memorials for all my siblings and siblings-in-law who I have lost
over the past few years.
Also, my ex-husband, the one I married twice (who was my forever friend even when we weren't together), had Huntington's disease in his family.
His mother had it and three of his five siblings did and all passed away before he did (not of Huntington's) last year. Even some of his nieces
and nephews have it or have already passed from it as well.
