Signs of Alzheimer’s Come Early

The New York Times has a front-page story on Alzheimer’s and Dementia.  If you think you’re getting forgetful and are going to develop Alzheimer’s, you’re probably on to something.  The Times says many people diagnose themselves years before any medical evidence confirms the disease. Specifically, people who notice that their ability to organize and recall memories could have a protein called amyloid in their brains, a tell-tale sign of Alzheimer’s. But not all forgetfulness is cause for concern, say experts. Forgetting what you came into the kitchen for or where you put your glasses are normal signs of aging.
