Read MoreEarly-Onset Alzheimer's In Jewish Seniors
I have Alzheimer’s, he tells me. His name eludes me at the moment, this doctor who looks so serious, but his words leave me speechless. No, no, I think. I am only fifty-two. This is all wrong.

Andres Lozano offers a dramatic look at emerging techniques, in which a woman with Parkinson's instantly stops shaking & brain areas eroded by Alzheimer's are brought back to life.

Jewish Senior Wisdom
Tunnel Visions
Once a year I lie down on a narrow, hard table, let myself be drawn into a metal tube, and submit to an MRI that extends for one and a half hours. To lie perfectly still and be told not to swallow (of course the minute you hear that, your mouth fills with saliva and you have to swallow) is not something I look forward to with great anticipation. When I fill out the questionnaire before the procedure, I say I am not claustrophobic, but if I open my eyes I know I will feel intense panic. So I shut my eyes, put on the headphones, and pray that the music they pipe in will succeed in drowning out the jackhammer-like noises the machine makes while it studies my body.
Join our writers! Each week, we will feature an article sharing your experiences of the joys, challenges, discoveries and disappointments of life as an older adult. No previous writing experience required, just a willingness to share your journey.
