  1. Bart De Strooper presented at the Copenhagen AD/PD-conference an excellent sketch of the three main inflection points in the pathophysiological evolution of Alzheimer's disease, alzforum.org/news/conference-c

    My own transition from amyloid plagues to p-tau and tangles was retarded by a four years' anti-amyloid therapy in a clinical reaearch project during 2017-22 (aducanumab). Sadly, the most probable explanation for my rapidly worsening cognitive problems may indeed be the tau-tangles, which I somehow avoided earlier. I know there are experimental therapies around somewhere for those gremlins too, but sadly not within my own reach. With respect to my AD, I'm afraid, it's "too late, my friend".

    I encourage anybody with a slowly lethal disease to keep mentally in touch with it as long as you can. That's what we human beings were made for. 🤗

  7. Medical Aid In Dying up for Gov Carney’s signature 🙏

    “End-of-life options can provide dignity, independence and choice to Delawareans facing the gravest health challenges.

    If the governor is unable to sign the bill — which we believe he should — he should let allow it to become law without his signatue.”

  8. Delaware #NewsJournal #EditorialBoard supports medical-aid-in-dying.

    Gov. #Carney must sign legislation allowing it

    “Last week, after an emotionally charged debate, the #Delaware state Senate, in an 11-10 vote, passed a bill that would give #TerminallyIll Delawareans aid-in-dying options.

    House Bill 140 — the Ron Silverio/Heather Block End of Life Options Law — allows “mentally capable, terminally ill” adults who have received a “prognosis of six months or less to live” to request and obtain self-ingested medication to end their lives peacefully.“

  9. DWP rules leave terminally ill people still not getting benefits like PIP quickly enough
    #DWP

    The DWP leaves some terminally ill people struggling to access benefits like PIP, so a petition is calling for change

  10. Fast track benefits for all people diagnosed with a terminal illness - Petitions
    #Benefits

    #TerminallyIll
    #FastTrackBenefitsForTerninallyIll
    #FastTrackBenefits

    We ask the Government to give anyone with a terminal illness fast-track access to financial support. This would stop people worrying about money and it would help them to focus on spending time with their family. This only happens if you have 12 months or less which penalises those who live longer
