I saw a thread from Juliegee on 23andme mentioning this site and it caught my attention.
I received my results from 23andme a few days ago. I was grandfathered in therefore I received my health info which was of great interest to me. My father passed at 68 having very bad loss of memory and progressing. I'd say that he started showing signs in 2007 and died in 2009. His mother died 6 months earlier and had been battling Alzheimer's not recognizing anyone for about 10 years. Her sister was diagnosed about 20 years ago and passed away earlier this year. It was because of the above, and my own bouts with forgetfulness not knowing if it's just that I am now 50 and it's normal or if it's the beginning of something serious, that I wanted my results.
My results showed E3/E4 and categorized me as having an elevated risk. For me, it's best to know if it's a possibility because I can at least plan and not procrastinate in doing those bucket list items that I have
I'm looking forward to reading the threads and participating where I find that I fit in.
Looking forward to meeting all of you,
LJ
