» High Blood Pressure May Prognosticate Dementia in Some Elderly Peoples Health

[Guest guest]

Here are a couple of articles I thought I might share. I have always

wondered if mothers heart ailment had anything to do with the onset of LBD and

now I am almost positive of it. She has a super,super rare disease called

Takayasu Arteritis. She is in remission now and has been for 5 or 6 years.

Her case was even more unusual because she didn't develop it until she was in

her early 50's. It usually begins between 10 and 30 years of age. It is

most common in women (90%) of Asian descent. So, I guess somewhere down the

ancestral line of my mothers family tree there was an Asian in the mix. It

must have been waaaaaay down the line because, trust me, she and are as

blonde and fair skinned as they come! Here is a link that tells about it incase

anyone is interested:
