New Alzheimer's drug gives hope after breakthrough trials
An antibody that can almost completely clear the visible signs of Alzheimer’s disease from the brain has been discovered in a breakthrough that left one scientist “trying not to get too excited”. Researchers scanned the brains of people with the degenerative condition as they were given doses of the drug, which is based on an immune cell taken from the blood of elderly people aged up to 100 who showed no signs of the disease.

That's great. My mom is still refusing any kind of treatment. It's maddening. Now she is starting to spend money like a rich person. She says she wants to spend it all before she dies. And, I suppose it's her money so she can do with it what she wants, but if she wants any better care that some hole-in-the-wall assisted living place, she better save some. I'm just about to the point where I'm going to contact a lawyer and have her declared incompetent. I don't know what to do.
Get to a lawyer to help. You already know she is going to hurt herself in the long run. As you said, it is her money, and you know and respect that, but she also needs your help, because it is not in her normal behavior.
Ya know, Appy, that's the problem. It is her normal behavior. She is the single most selfish human being I have ever known. When my grandparents were alive I literally heard her say to my grandmother that she needs to stop spending so much money because that's her "birthright". My mom never made shit, all of her money was inherited from my grandparents, and a big life insurance policy from my step-dad. My mom has never worked for a living and she is a millionaire. She has no concept of what it takes most people to have the kind of wealth she got for free.
Edit- AND, she's a whacko Republican. She will sit there and talk shit about people on welfare who don't work. I just look at her and pick my jaw up off of the floor.
