RE: A Perplexing Nexus Between Three Neurological Diseases: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's
Awesome post! You did a really good job of taking a SUPER complex topic and making it accessible to regular folks, like me. My family history includes several relatives who developed dementia. It's good to see there may be some big breakthroughs in that area before I get to the age where it will affect me.
I appreciate that very much. I started with questions and traced my path carefully. The language is clear because I needed to understand as I explained it. I'm 'regular' too. My background is in literature and history, so much of the science terminology was new to me. But I love that, because my background is also in languages :) I hope you're right, that progress is quick in this area. People need help! BTW, Arlo Guthrie, Woody's son, never got tested for Huntington's and he is alive today (born in 1947). So sometimes things work out and genes are not destiny.
Have a wonderful day.
