It’s interesting how popular Alzheimer’s research is on HN. I don’t really see any other website talk about it. I have multiple grandparents who were destroyed by it. I guess it is a scary future to look to
- tyfighter 3y agoI appreciate that HN follows the research, and have wondered if others have had the same experience as me. My mother was diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer's at age 57 in 2013. The progression was slow at first, but it was a major problem for our family by 2017, and she died at 65 in 2022. My dad died of health issues seriously exacerbated by grief of what had happened. It destroyed my family. I'm still in my 30s and both of my parents are gone. This all happened during what are supposed to be the most critical years of a person's tech career. I am almost done with handling my parent's affairs, and am preparing to make major changes to my life again. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease that is going to wreck havoc on the lives of of countless millenials/genzs as their baby boomer parent's age into it. We need to understand this disease as soon as possible.
