2020-10-29 06:53:39 PM cchase yes julie the neuro transmitters or neurons fail
2020-10-29 06:53:47 PM cchase good - tangles
2020-10-29 06:53:51 PM melveniag slowly deteriorate
2020-10-29 06:53:57 PM juliecormier Can this be from being hit in the head?
2020-10-29 06:54:03 PM cchase the brain begins to develop plaques and tangles
2020-10-29 06:54:31 PM juliecormier what exactly is a tangle?
2020-10-29 06:54:32 PM tamirudd it is kind of like people with a strok to me. They get frustrated trying to communicate and forget or can't form words.
2020-10-29 06:54:52 PM cchase Alz s is not usually due to impact but dementia absolutely can be due to trauma
2020-10-29 06:54:55 PM tamirudd tangle in thoughts?
2020-10-29 06:55:03 PM juliecormier ok
2020-10-29 06:55:06 PM cchase enven CTE - football results in dementia
2020-10-29 06:55:29 PM cchase physical plaques and tangles begin to grow in the brain
2020-10-29 06:55:33 PM fillmorepam8 yes i read that about dementia..permanent or temporary due to different factors
2020-10-29 06:55:36 PM tamirudd yes from the number of concusions sustained during games
2020-10-29 06:55:44 PM cchase they sever the connection btw. neurons
2020-10-29 06:56:03 PM juliecormier ok
2020-10-29 06:56:14 PM cchase which prevents them from connecting and sending messages to each other
2020-10-29 06:56:25 PM cchase so what messages could that be??
2020-10-29 06:56:26 PM erittenhouse1683 interesting

2020-10-29 06:57:37 PM debbief82 enter the chat room
2020-10-29 06:57:49 PM cchase indeed - the brain begins to fail in it's task to tell the body how to function
2020-10-29 06:58:00 PM jford124 anything cognitive
2020-10-29 06:58:16 PM cchase the brain executes all commands throughout the body
2020-10-29 06:58:27 PM kreese828 also... the ability to know when to use the restroom
2020-10-29 06:58:37 PM tamirudd is this due to the plaque deposits in the brain
2020-10-29 06:58:46 PM cchase that is correct - the body fails to sense a full bladder
2020-10-29 06:59:03 PM cchase fails to smell - forgets how to chew food -- etc.
2020-10-29 06:59:10 PM jmeza75 executive functions
2020-10-29 06:59:23 PM juliecormier very sad
2020-10-29 06:59:55 PM cchase Alz. is a terminal disease - eventually the organs no longer rec. commands from the brain to know how to function and organs fail
2020-10-29 07:00:15 PM cchase yes sad for sure
2020-10-29 07:00:24 PM fillmorepam8 Celeste I read somewhere that someone with alzheimers can not draw a clock and place the numbers and hands correctly that is one way to test..is that true
2020-10-29 07:00:50 PM cchase yes - that is correct pam
2020-10-29 07:01:03 PM cchase the clock is used in many assessments
2020-10-29 07:01:04 PM erittenhouse1683 wow
2020-10-29 07:01:19 PM ebrown enter the chat room

2020-10-29 07:01:30 PM juliecormier agreed
2020-10-29 07:01:31 PM cchase ok so here is a way to relate to all that information - ready??
2020-10-29 07:01:37 PM erittenhouse1683 yup
2020-10-29 07:01:41 PM fillmorepam8 yes
2020-10-29 07:01:41 PM alexisb yes
2020-10-29 07:01:42 PM kreese828 yes
2020-10-29 07:01:45 PM melveniag yes
2020-10-29 07:01:45 PM tamirudd yest the individual will decline to infiant status
2020-10-29 07:01:47 PM juliecormier yes
2020-10-29 07:02:00 PM ebrown yes
2020-10-29 07:02:06 PM cchase picture a straight & perfect electric wire
2020-10-29 07:02:12 PM kreese828 yes
2020-10-29 07:02:20 PM juliecormier ok
2020-10-29 07:02:24 PM melveniag ok
2020-10-29 07:02:32 PM cchase the elec. pulse can run from one end to another in a blink of an eye
2020-10-29 07:02:51 PM cchase now take that wire and put a knot in the middle - now what?
2020-10-29 07:03:09 PM kreese828 slowr or completely stops
2020-10-29 07:03:14 PM erittenhouse1683 the pulse can't move back and forth
2020-10-29 07:03:27 PM cchase (y)
2020-10-29 07:03:36 PM fillmorepam8 one end cannot reach the other...not connecting
2020-10-29 07:03:38 PM tamirudd can it be that the plaque deposits cause the stop of the impulse
2020-10-29 07:03:38 PM melveniag wow
2020-10-29 07:03:42 PM juliecormier certain areas are affected more than others at first
2020-10-29 07:03:49 PM cchase that knot is an example of plaques & tangles
2020-10-29 07:03:50 PM jford124 the pulse slows then completely stops
2020-10-29 07:03:59 PM debbief82 left the chat room
2020-10-29 07:04:00 PM juliecormier Great example

2020-10-29 07:04:20 PM melveniag yes
2020-10-29 07:04:24 PM cchase ok so now let talk memory & dementia
2020-10-29 07:04:28 PM cchase ready?
2020-10-29 07:04:33 PM kreese828 yes
2020-10-29 07:04:33 PM erittenhouse1683 ok
2020-10-29 07:04:34 PM juliecormier yes
2020-10-29 07:04:36 PM melveniag ok
2020-10-29 07:04:37 PM fillmorepam8 yes
2020-10-29 07:04:40 PM tamirudd yes
2020-10-29 07:04:40 PM jford124 yup
2020-10-29 07:05:10 PM cchase so you know about these tangle things blocking neurons connections
2020-10-29 07:05:11 PM alexisb yes
2020-10-29 07:05:21 PM juliecormier yes
2020-10-29 07:05:22 PM kreese828 yup
2020-10-29 07:05:22 PM erittenhouse1683 ok
2020-10-29 07:05:39 PM jmeza75 yes
2020-10-29 07:05:46 PM cchase here is another example to related to about memory
2020-10-29 07:06:28 PM cchase you write a word document & give it a title to save it in a particular location on your computer --- right?
2020-10-29 07:06:38 PM jford124 right
2020-10-29 07:06:38 PM juliecormier yes
2020-10-29 07:06:43 PM melveniag ok
2020-10-29 07:06:44 PM fillmorepam8 right
2020-10-29 07:06:52 PM erittenhouse1683 ok
2020-10-29 07:07:05 PM tamirudd right
2020-10-29 07:07:06 PM cchase in this way - you can recall that document when you ask for it by name
2020-10-29 07:07:26 PM cchase so now - your computer gets a virus
2020-10-29 07:07:38 PM kreese828 exactly
2020-10-29 07:07:49 PM cchase the virus blocks the pathway to retrive that file
2020-10-29 07:07:56 PM tamirudd then it eats your document
2020-10-29 07:08:08 PM cchase you know the name of the file - but you cannot access it
2020-10-29 07:08:08 PM juliecormier ok
2020-10-29 07:08:14 PM cchase not eating yet
2020-10-29 07:08:26 PM melveniag lol
2020-10-29 07:08:34 PM juliecormier following ya
2020-10-29 07:08:42 PM cchase you save your memories - before the onset of Alz
2020-10-29 07:08:59 PM cchase those memories are called LTM - long term memories
2020-10-29 07:09:16 PM cchase they were stored - before disease onset
2020-10-29 07:09:27 PM juliecormier ok
2020-10-29 07:09:40 PM cchase so when you play that music - it triggers something familiar
2020-10-29 07:09:53 PM cchase but it unclear yet so so so familiar
2020-10-29 07:10:08 PM melveniag right
2020-10-29 07:10:13 PM cchase they can even sing the words perfectly
2020-10-29 07:10:18 PM juliecormier makes sense
2020-10-29 07:10:25 PM tamirudd this is where the anxiety begins to cause issues
2020-10-29 07:10:34 PM cchase yes - good tami
2020-10-29 07:10:43 PM fillmorepam8 great analogy and thats exactly what i love about music. I have a lady that has crazy word salad but she can see word to word with elvis..it amazes me everytime...sometimes to tears
2020-10-29 07:11:01 PM cchase yup so so common
2020-10-29 07:11:21 PM tamirudd they may even seem like someone else to their family
2020-10-29 07:11:35 PM cchase so the disease continues - blocking the ability to save information altogether
2020-10-29 07:12:00 PM tamirudd may have depression or withdraw from regular activities
2020-10-29 07:12:10 PM cchase now the person cannot save anything at all - this is called - STM short term memory
2020-10-29 07:12:23 PM juliecormier recalling a loved ones name
2020-10-29 07:12:40 PM cchase even 3-5 mins. later - they cannot remember
2020-10-29 07:12:43 PM erittenhouse1683 remembering that you just used the bathroom
2020-10-29 07:12:45 PM tamirudd kinda like at the facility you meet the nurse and tomorrow you meet them again
2020-10-29 07:13:06 PM cchase that is also one of the cognitive tests done beside the clock
2020-10-29 07:13:13 PM tamirudd the mini memory test three items
2020-10-29 07:13:35 PM jford124 3 words
2020-10-29 07:13:41 PM cchase the person is give a few words to remember then asked very shortly thereafter to repeat them
2020-10-29 07:13:48 PM cchase yup
2020-10-29 07:13:52 PM jford124 bed, blue and sock
2020-10-29 07:14:00 PM cchase i forget

2020-10-29 07:14:10 PM tamirudd yes they have to numeber the clock and start out correct then the numbers go to a straight line and disapear
