News For Alzheimer’s Sufferers … With a few less important Bits

I’ve got to admit, I thought I’d best post up some news I’ve picked up from the BBC, today.

As you’re probably aware, some years ago saw the death of a much loved grandmother.

From complications of Alzheimer’s, so you know.

So, given that, and the fact I’m something of Terry Pratchett fan, I tend to follow news about both Alzheimer’s Disease and the various debates about Assisted Death.

Scary stuff, that last one.

But, at any rate, one good thing for any currant or future sufferers of the condition … ?

Is that the National Institute for Clinical Excellence — or NICE for short — has finally U-turned, and approved the general release of drugs — including Aricept — for use in the early stages of the condition.

Damn good news, that …
