Theory: Picasso had Alzheimers.

Picasso wanted to paint a subject as if viewed from multiple angles at the same time (Cubism).

It's a bad one, yes, but Huntington's is worse IMHO. Similar symptoms as Alzheimers but usually starts much earlier in life and progresses more slowly.

Most often starts between ages 30 and 50, but can even start in childhood. Takes about 20 years to rob you of who you were before you die.

No easy way to define, or understand this.

Ask yourself this question if you had to choose one or the other to choose from which would it be?

Which one is tougher to deal with as a victim?

Which one is tougher on the family?

No right or wrong answer just something to think about.

Oh frick you, you humorless piece of shite.

My Dad died from it so I know exactly how bad it is.

None of the somber handwringing I did I during and after did anything so I thought I would try something else.

So sorry to hear this. My Dad is 79 and I wonder sometimes if he might have it because he gets forgetful even though he has checked out ok. I can't imagine what would be worse. ALS where your robbed of your physical functions but still have a sharp mind or Alzheimers.
