Family history is also an important risk factor. People with a parent or sibling diagnosed with Alzheimer’s have a higher risk of developing the disease than those who don’t have family members with the disease. Families can have many things in common, including their genes, environment, and lifestyle, that all may play a role. For example, lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise, which can be influenced by family, can affect overall health and increase risk for Alzheimer’s. Importantly, not everyone with a history of Alzheimer’s in their family will develop the disease and vice versa — not everyone who develops Alzheimer’s has a family history of the disease.

June is Alzheimers awareness month. This month, we will focus on risk factors for Alzheimers and five things to consider when you are wondering about your own risk or a loved ones risk for the disease. First, how old are you?
Age is the biggest known risk factor for Alzheimer’s. Most people with Alzheimer’s develop the disease when they are 65 or older, with less than 10% of cases occurring before then. As a person ages past 65, their risk of Alzheimer’s increases. About one in 13 people age 65 to 84 and one in three people 85 and older are living with Alzheimer’s.

May is ALS Awareness: ALS symptoms can look very different from person to person. Some people may notice difficulty holding a pen or lifting a cup. Others may first experience changes in their voice or speech.
Symptoms can begin in:
The hands or arms
The legs or feet
The muscles that control speech or swallowing
Not everyone experiences the same symptoms or the same order of progression. What all people with ALS share is progressive muscle weakness and paralysis over time.

Common Early Symptoms
The most common early sign of ALS is gradual muscle weakness, which is usually painless. Other early symptoms may include:
Tripping or difficulty walking
Dropping objects
Fatigue in the arms or legs
Slurred or slowed speech
Muscle cramps or twitching

What ALS Does Not Affect
ALS affects only motor neurons, which control voluntary movement. Because of this:
Many people living with ALS remain mentally alert and aware throughout the disease.

May is ALS Awareness Month. Throughout ALS Awareness Month, we’re calling on our community—and the entire country—to raise their voices in solidarity.
Whether you’ve been personally affected by ALS or simply believe that neurodegenerative diseases need more research, funding, and visibility, this is your moment to share. As many of you know, our receptionist, DeAnna Fowler has ALS. She was diagnosed just over a year ago. Her strength and determination show every day. ALS does not deter her from the outstanding care and concern that she shows our patients every day. Thank you DeAnna for all that you do! We are with you!

The Unexpected Visit
The joys of having a private family practice in a small town are numerous. I have been privileged to own my practice for over 23 years. Over this time, my patients have taught me many life lessons. I have grown older with them and their families. I would like to think that I have become a better, more seasoned doctor who has become more than the person who writes their prescriptions. I am often a member of the family. Often, I have treated four generations of a family. I have grown to know and love each of my patients, and become especially close to those who have opened their very private lives to me. Some have shared very intimate thoughts and experiences with me during my more than 20 years making hospital rounds. I may have helped make very hard decisions with them. People sometimes give me privilege to the struggles they are going through each day and when I walk into the room, it is the Unexpected Visit that cannot be shortened into a 20 minute slot. They may need to talk about the divorce they are going through, the drug addiction their spouse or child is living, the end of life decisions they are facing with their parent or even the su***de they themselves are contemplating. So if I am late getting into to your room, I hope you understand. I hope you think about the person in front of you that might be struggling with a loss, a life battle that may be a critical crossroad in their life. Try not to be quick to anger. Please be understanding. It may be you that needs that extra time in the future. Reschedule if you need to. Getting angry because of an Unexpected Visit is not the answer. The doctor is more than just writing a prescription and following up on blood pressure to many folk in this office. I love you all and please know that I am always humbled by those who open their hearts to me. May God continue to Bless me with all of the many wonderful patients that I have! Thank You All very MUCH for being in my life.
