Avatar f tn He went onto explain that this will make me a candidate for Alzheimers which absolutely scared me to death. Although it has not started yet (I am 56), and I consider myself bright and alert, what can I do to forestall this from happening? I have had a very, very stressful life for 20 years (verbal abuse from my spouse) could this have made this condition? Also, he said I would not one day wakeup and have it unless I were in a brain injury accident. Do you agree with this.
