You'd know it was in the offing but there's still no 'cure'.

I would take the test.

Their are medications that may slow the onset and things we can do ourselves as well.

I think I would also like to know so we can understand what is going on when we first start getting the first symptoms and we can seek help and advice.

RATTER15

There*

ummmm

I'd take it.

No, I wouldn't want to know. If its going to be full blown dementia within the year, it's too late to do anything about it now, anyway. It would just be terrifying waiting for it to affect you.

It would be good to put your affairs in order whilst you still can..and give the code to your deposit account in a Swiss bank to your mistress.

Old_Geezer

For sure.
Preparing is a good opportunity, may be able to slow progress. And there may be a cure tomorrow.

Would i take a test to identify a psychiatric disorder in which there was no cure or ameliorating factors where 10% of the results were false?

No.

Grandma_Yiddo

Definitely not.

pixie373

I would. As ratter says, drugs like aricept seem to be very effective in delaying symptoms- and the sooner you can take them, the better. You can also plan ahead to take worry and guilt off your family.

jomifl

Sqad, So you've already given the code number to your secret Swiss account to your mistress?

Baldric

. "Que Sera, Sera!"

Sqad

jomifl...LOL.

pixie373

Yes. I have it, jom ;-)

Sqad

pixie.....I have spent enough on you already....but well worth it ;-)

Now...........if I was asked to give blood for a scientific study, the nature of which I knew not and the results not divulged to me ( unless of course there was an obvious abnormality e.g leukaemia)........... then I would say.........Yes.
