Too young, to be old

When I first started noticing my thoughts were fuzzy, my symptoms range from headaches, to time lapse of time. im really terrified of this disease. mine is advanced, irreversable. i was diagnosed in jan 2008. its sad because everyday my childhood memories and my life day to day slowly fades. there are treatments for dimentia [dementia] but it has to be treated early, there is hope ,but for some of us we need support and prayers as well .how i ended up with this ,was from trauma that happened 25 years ago to the head ,mine just hit me all at once ,no signs prior to jan,2008. progressed rapidly. my days are like dreams. i suffer alot of pain, tremors now that my family is understanding this disease they know the road ahead will be rough for them ,but i know theyll be here for me. i dont know the moral of this story ,just had to put it in print, but maybe it will get someones attention thats in the early stages and not diagnosed yet ,.if you have any symptoms please have the test, lifes too precious memories should last a lifetime.
