It is a very interesting subject.
There is a family in Texas that every family member who is female eventually has Alzheimer’s. This has happened since they can remember , many generations ago.
It would be interesting if they find out why.
I wondered if it possibly could be contributed to a latent hereditary virus that is only present in females and awakens at a certain time.
However my neurologist discontinued the idea saying there is no evidence of this , still it is an interesting subject.
I also wonder why men are more subject to Lewy body disease .
The answer is out there somewhere, and I am sure it will be found eventually, when medical science becomes more advanced. Hopefully within our timeframe.
Hang tough everyone! Regards, Ashley

I did a lot of research since my diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s. I hv the gene
€4/€3 the first letter in each is suppose to be a backwards
E. If you have this combination you are at a risk of getting Alzheimer’s
€\4€\4 is most likely to get
Alzheimer’s.
There is more but this too much I could get into.
That’s why this could run in families in women.
