Her meds are 3 Injections a day.
If she has the real drug as it's
a Placebo trial she is on.

Horrible illness.
Very sad news.

[Niamh.]

Very sad, 62 seems quite young for Alzheimers

[bots]

With Fiona Phillips, she is such an obvious bubbly character, so the impact of the disease hits home much harder

She has kept this Quiet
for 18 months

That’s sad news. She always came across as a really nice person.

could make them more susceptible
to the disease.

dementia diagnosis, which killed both her mother and father,

She said she had 'brain fog' and I didn't know what that was so I looked it up.

It's utterly terrfying. You're constantly confused, cannot remember close friends' names, or even your wife's or husband's names.

A state of fear too that you're in some strange place you cannot escape from.

It's a living nightmare.
