Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative, incurable, and terminal disease found by Doctor Alois Alzheimer in 1906. A person suffering from this disease has a progressive corrosion of brain cells. The person may look healthy and strong but there will difference in memory thinking, behavior, and speech. However, these signs are ignored by some individuals. They believe that is caused by aging.
Is summary it can be said that Alzheimer's disease is a "degenerative" (that it basic nature is that it is ongoing, that it gets worse, never better) illness of the generally elderly population. How did the name arise? This incurable subset of the set of neurological mental disease in the medical terminology grouping of "dementia" was first noted and described by a medical specialist "Dr. Alois Alzheimer" early in the 19'Th century. The pattern of dementia in the elderly that the doctor described came to be his specialty. Patients sent to the good doctor for assessment and treatment came to be referred to by the doctor's name - Dr. Alzheimer - and suffering and diagnosed with "Alzheimer's Disease".
It also has three different stages with different behavior approaches. Person suffering from an early stage Alzheimer's disease are having difficulty in speaking, perception and execution of movements. Middle stage patients are having problems in memory, frequent crying, resistance to care giving and wandering. The last stage is a severe stage of Alzheimer's disease. The person has totally lost his ability to speak, apathy, and exhaustion. There are said to be the most demanding Alzheimer's disease patient. They need assistance on every task they will do, including feeding themselves.
In addition when meeting with the Alzheimer's patient they may not be able to refer to more recent facts, events and episodes and may refer to past events, situations and landmarks in conversation. For example it may have been well known by the affected patient that family members of yours are deceased some time ago. Yet you may be asked "How are mother and father?" If you had moved from the area years before - you may well be asked how are things at that residence now and the residence described as it was many years ago, not as it is currently.
Alzheimer's disease is one subset of mental dementia and mental faculty deterioration in the elderly. There are other forms and causes of brain dementia and loss of memory function in the aged. Yet at least with Alzheimer's disease the pathology can be identified - there are plaques, there are damaged brain tissue areas. Diagnosis is done through a process of elimination by the medical specialist or medical neurological

It was not too long ago that patients who visited their doctor claiming numbness , changing pain and exhaustion and insisted to their doctor that they were suffering from an illness that they had heard about on the media or read in the Reader's Digest magazine in the doctor's waiting room - that disease being Lyme Disease spread by insect ticks , were relegated by most medical practitioner's to the nutcase or malingerer classification in the doctor's personal notes and records. At the best Lyme Disease patients could get referred to a Psychiatrist for psychiatric assessment. At the worst they and their various neurological symptoms were just plain ignored. Not so today in 2009 /2010. Lyme Disease is a disease well recognized by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta and the Mayo Clinic. There are titers ( specific tests) available. On top of that the focus on the treatment of Lyme Disease is early detection and relatively simple pharmacological treatment with simple and standard antibiotics. Enter Morgellons , Morgellons Disease or Morgelons Syndrome our current mystery "Lyme Disease" of 2009 / 2010.
What are the signs and symptoms of this disorder of Morgellons. Sufferers of Morgellons Disease will describe an itching under their skins that just will not go away. This rash and itchiness persists , despite all therapy and treatments by GPs and Medical Specialists such as Dermatologists or Allergists. The rash never goes away and not only is the victim continues to suffer with pain , but it really feels as if something or someone is actually moving around under their skin itself.
Imagine being exhausted from all the pain , lack of sleep and basically having your medical and health symptoms ignored. It is no accident that many who do have the syndrome are confused , exhausted and unkempt in appearance and manner.
Arthritis and joint pain is a common issue and medical health problem that affects a high percentage of those patients afflicted - or believe that they are afflicted with the whole gamut of Morgellons. Is it an allergy an allergic reaction of the body to a known or unknown pathogen ? Allergists remain unconvinced. Still many are given antihistamine pills salves and medications. Others are given oral steroids ( Prednisone) to reduce the severity of the rash and apparent itchiness.
Treatment varies for Morgellons Disease and Syndrome all essentially varying as to what the medical practitioners involved have read , experienced or employed previously. It can be said best that it all depends in the end what your doctor has read or what types of books he has read or if he was lucky enough for the issue to come up for discussion at a local evening out on the town pharmaceutical company event or a enlightened discussion over coffee at the Doctor's Lounge at your Health Care Professional's attendant hospital.
The most common treatment that is prescribed for delusional parasitosis is known as pimozide. Pimozide acts as an antipsychotic, but at the same time, it also prevents the itchiness of skin wounds and rashes. Before this is prescribed, the physician will take a number of examinations to make sure there are no organic causes behind it. One of the main problems here is the fact that folks refuse that the ailment is in their heads. For those reasons, they decline treatment and go off in an even worse condition than what they were originally in. They may also be told that they are suffering from an infectious disease. Folks are more likely to accept that this is their problem and allow treatment to go further.
