My Dad died of the disease after having it for approx. 13-14 years. He was 81 when he died. I am now 62 and I have decided to have testing to see if I am a carrier. I used to be frightened of knowing, but I seem at my age now, to have gained a real dose of courage, so on Mon. the 16th of Nov. I am seeing a neurologist to begin testing. First memory testing, then a simple blood test that will prove if I am a carrier or non-carrier. Truthfully I feel it will be a relief to find out one way or the other. Again, thank you for your article. Thank you for this article. My Dad died of the disease after having it for approx. 13-14 years. He was 81 when he died.
