Me too, I stress about everything, like politics and our livelihood is way stressful.
LOL, We’re both screwed! My grandmother and aunt both had/have it and my kid is in Afghanistan. Sleep much? Stressed much? Can’t repair what’s gone!
So being married...with children...makes you NUTS. WHO KNEW?
This is pure b/s imho.
Perhaps they should try looking into Lyme’s Disease and it’s correllations.
Seems logical to me.
The mind is under stress so it goes into shutdown mode.
There is, however, hardening of the arteries.
My mother and her mother experienced that, but both lived into their late 90s, but little more the vegetables when they died.
I have never met one of these rare and elusive people.
Oh, terrific. Thanks for the uplifting info, n.
Actually, I’m thinking that having Alzheimers will keep me from having a stressful life.
You think YOU have it bad....you ought to try living with some kid whose name starts with “B” but shall remain unnamed to protect his innocence!
Man!
Talk about a ROUGH LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve got high school baseball, and at 62 can still throw, catch, hit and even pitch batting practice. Praise God!
I was stressed out but I can’t remember why.
Me too. In the past year, my husband was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer, a few months after surgery he was laid off, then my 15 year old daughter started having involuntary muscle movements and other neurological problems that we don’t know what is going on yet. On top of that, we already have a daughter with a brain injury and seizures.
I’m screwed!
Who the h*ll are all you people?
This Obama presidency has been pretty stressful, but unfortunately, I still remember the last four years :(
FDA announces safety changes in labeling for some cholesterol-lowering drugs
Important safety changes to the labeling for some widely used cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins are being announced today by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
These products, when used with diet and exercise, help to lower a person’s “bad” cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol). The products include: Lipitor (atorvastatin), Lescol (fluvastatin), Mevacor (lovastatin), Altoprev (lovastatin extended-release), Livalo (pitavastatin), Pravachol (pravastatin), Crestor (rosuvastatin), and Zocor (simvastatin). Combination products include: Advicor (lovastatin/niacin extended-release), Simcor (simvastatin/niacin extended-release), and Vytorin (simvastatin/ezetimibe).
“We want health care professionals and patients to have the most current information on the risks of statins, but also to assure them that these medications continue to provide an important health benefit of lowering cholesterol,” said Mary Parks, M.D., director for the Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products in the Office of Drug Evaluation II in FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
The changes to the statin labels are:
* Certain cognitive (brain-related) effects have been reported with statin use. Statin labels will now include information about some patients experiencing memory loss and confusion. These reports generally have not been serious and the patients’ symptoms were reversed by stopping the statin. However, patients should still alert their health care professional if these symptoms occur.
"Stress" produces so many side effects that it's really hard for modern, hyperspecalized medicine to correlate back to the root cause.
What is behind this latest analysis? Gov wanting to justifiy people 'not working'? Are they wanting 'de-stress modalities taking precedent; at Gov behest? Another angle per 'required' 'health care'?
Maybe next, we will learn that speed limits under 35mph help resist dementia; or that babies raised 'in home' with Mother; are 'stressed'! Will we learn that Electric cars help reduce stress and ,consequently Alzheimers stats improve?
Will we all be doing 'tai chi' in the public square on 'Doctor's Orders'? What are they thinking? . .
Good grief; 'life happens'. . .and meantime, all the culprits, are Government exempt. Just not Government recommended/required antidotes. . .
Perhaps, having a Government as 'Nanny'; causes dementia. What about those flu shots? Too many vaccines?
No, no; and 'no'; we can be certain.
Wow! Something new to stress about!
Now when you’re stressing, you can stress even more knowing the stress is giving you Alzheimer’s!
B.S. We are living longer and healthier than ever.
people in the past did not live long enough to suffer from these advanced aged diseases.
