Kupeza Chikhulupiriro mu Alzheimer's

“Kuti upeze zomwe sunakhale nazo, uyenera kuchita zomwe sunachite. Mulungu akatenga kena kake m'manja mwanu, Ambuye sakukulangani, koma amangotsegula manja anu kuti mulandire china chake chabwino. ” - Jose N. Narris, Nkhani Ya Chikhulupiriro, Chiyembekezo ndi Chikondi

Kupitilira ululu, kudzipatula, zizindikilo zowopsa, pali madalitso mu Alzheimer's. Koma muyenera kuwatsata.

Lero, pali zovuta zina kuposa ulendo wanga pomwe chiwanda cha Alzheimer chimayenda pang'onopang'ono, koma pang'onopang'ono, chimagwira njoka mkati mwa ubongo wanga: kukwiya kwambiri, kudzidalira, kukumbukira kukumbukira kwakanthawi kochepa, kuyerekezera zinthu kwakukulu ndi kudzipatula, zambiri kuchoka kwa abale ndi abwenzi, osazindikira anthu omwe ndawadziwa moyo wanga wonse, ndikulimbana kuti ndikhale kanthawi, kukhumudwa kwakukulu, dzenje lakuda lakukhumudwa. Ndi bankirapuse ikukwera.

Ndi imfa ya mabala chikwi. Pa Tsiku la Abambo, kwa nthawi yoyamba, sindinathe ngakhale kukumbukira dzina la mkazi wanga Mary Catherine. Ndinayenera kumufunsa kumbuyo kwa nyumba yathu ku Outer Cape Cod. Takhala okwatirana zaka 43. Ndipo, ndangomva kuti khansara yanga ikukula.

Komabe, Ambuye ndi wabwino. Ngakhale Alzheimer's, Ambuye andidalitsa, kudzera mwa makolo anga, ndi luntha labwino, chidebe cha "chidziwitso," komanso zomwe madokotala amatcha "neuroplasticity" - kuthekera kwakanthawi kosinthitsa ubongo. Ambuye andiphunzitsa, monganso amayi anga, omwe adamwalira ndi Alzheimer's, kulankhula ndi kulemba kudzera mumtima, malo amzimu, pomwe malingaliro alephera. Monga momwe ubongo umakhalira mu Alzheimer's, mzimu umapirira.

Lipoti la HealthDay pa kafukufuku waposachedwa wa a Johns Hopkins akuti "kukhala wanzeru komanso wophunzira kwambiri sikungapewe matenda a Alzheimer's, koma zikuwoneka kuti zikuchedwetsa zomwe matendawa amachita pa moyo watsiku ndi tsiku ... lingatero. ”

Ndipita imodzi yabwino polimbana ndi Alzheimer's: chikhulupiriro mwa Wamphamvuyonse, yemwe amapereka chisomo cha matenda amisala. Ambuye amagwira ntchito modabwitsa.

Kupeza chikhulupiriro mu Alzheimer's, pomwe ofufuza akuthamangira kuchipatala, ndi mutu wa buku latsopano, lofalitsidwa ndi a Jessica Kingsley Publishers aku London ndi Philadelphia: Kupembedza Kothandizidwa Ndi Dementia. Bukuli, lomwe lidapangidwa ndi UsAgainstAlzheimer's, bukuli, lomwe lili ndi zikhulupiriro zambiri za atsogoleri achipembedzo, atsogoleri achipembedzo, komanso magulu azipembedzo, limapereka malingaliro owoneka bwino kuchokera kwa omwe amapereka zikhulupiliro zosiyanasiyana ndi miyambo yawo, komanso omwe ali ndi matendawa. Ndidakhala ndi mwayi wofunsidwa kuti ndipereke.

Mukuyenda kwanga ndi matendawa, ndakhala ndikuyenda ngati wosamalira ndipo tsopano ngati wodwala. Pokhala mwana wamwamuna wamkulu m'banja la Ireland la ana khumi, ndinali wosamalira banja ku Cape kwa makolo anga panthawi yomwe amamuzunza ndi matenda a Alzheimer's and dementia, omwe adatenganso agogo anga aamuna ndi amalume anga a bambo anga. Nditazindikira kuti ndili ndi chisoni chachikulu, Ambuye adandichotsa kuphompho ndikundilangiza kuti ndibwererenso kuthamanga - kuthamanga kwa kulimbikira ndi kupirira mphotho ya Chipangano Chakale ndi Chatsopano. Mayi anga anati: “Tikakhala ofooka, Mulungu ndi wamphamvu.”

Ndaziphunzira movutikira.

Za mbiri yanga, ndine munthu wangwiro, wopanda ungwiro, munthu yemwe kwa nthawi yayitali wachita tchimo lililonse lomwe lingaganizidwe koma kupha ndi chigololo, ndipo ndayesedwa mu zonsezi. Komabe, ndadalitsidwanso ndi matumbo, chikhulupiriro chosagwedezeka; ndi mphatso yomwe ndimayikumbatira kwambiri ndikukula kwa matendawa, monga ena.

Mulungu wandipatsa cholinga mu matenda a Alzheimer's, ngakhale Ambuye adandikopa kuti ndipite patsogolo. Kawiri, ndinayesa kuchoka padziko lapansi nthawi isanakwane —ndekha ndili wokwiya komanso wokhumudwa kwambiri. Sindikunyadira izi. Pali nthawi zina pano zomwe ndimamverera ngati Yobu mu Chipangano Chakale, ndikutaya chilichonse. Koma Mulungu wandipulumutsa ine kulembera kwanga tsopano, mphatso ya Ambuye kwa ine. Sindikudzitamandira chifukwa cha izi.

Ulendo wanga, monganso ulendowu wa ena, sikuti umangotengera matenda a Alzheimer's komanso mankhwala; Ndikufuna kufikira chikhulupiriro cha matendawa pomwe mankhwala, pakadali pano, sangathetse. Ndizokhudza mbali yauzimu ya moyo, kuyang'ana pagalasi, kuthana ndi zofooka zanga, ziwanda zanga, ndikudziwa kuti ndakhululukidwa. Ndizokhudza kuchiritsidwa munjira iliyonse ya mawu, ndikuyenda mpaka muyaya ndi ulemu. Ambuye, ndikukhulupirira, nthawi zambiri amatenga ochimwa abwino kwambiri kuti awatsogolere. Palibe zodabwitsa kuti wakhala gawo langa.

Mu chaputala changa m'buku lopembedzera, Miyala Pamutu Panga, Ndikulemba za nthawi yomwe ndinali mtolankhani wazaka wazaka 24 ku Cape, khutu lachilendo ku Ireland, ndimakonda kupita kumabala, kuthamangitsa azimayi. Ndinali ku bala usiku wina tsiku lomaliza nyuzipepala. Malo ogulitsira a Beachcomber amakhala pamphepete mwa nyanja, moyang'anizana ndi nyanja ya Atlantic, ndipo usiku womwewo, kumwamba kopanda mwezi kunayatsidwa ndi Milky Way. Komabe, ndinkafuna kutuluka mu bala; sizinali zosangalatsa ayi. Ndimasanthula; payenera kukhala china chakenso.

Chifukwa chake ndidayendetsa msewu ndikugunda kwanga, galimoto yamasewera ya Triumph, pamwamba, yopanda dzimbiri, ndikubowola chete usiku. Ndinakhala ndekha pamtunda wapamwamba pamwamba pa nyanja ndikuyang'ana kumwamba. Zinali ngati wina wasinthanitsa miyamba ndimiyendo yoyera. Mamiliyoni a iwo. Ndinali pa siteji ya moyo wanga pomwe ndimafunsa chilichonse, ndimayesetsa kuti: Kodi cholinga cha moyo ndi chiyani? Kodi Mulungu ndani? Kodi Mulungu ndi weniweni?

Ndinali kuwotcha mafunso mu moyo wanga ngati nkhunda zadongo mu mphukira ya skeet. Ndipo Mulungu, chilengedwe chonse, osadziwa yemwe panthawiyo, anali kuwawombera. Pop. Pop. Pop. Palibe njira ina yonena izi, koma ndidakopeka ndikumva munthawiyo kuti ndimacheza ndi wina, osatsimikiza kuti ndani, koma ndidayamba kudalira kuti malingaliro akumwamba omwe adalipo patsogolo panga sanapangidwe mwangozi komanso kuti zonse tili ndi cholinga.

Ndinkangobwerako usiku nthawi yonse yotentha. Kukambirana kunapitiliza. Chidaliro changa chinakula.

Patatha miyezi ingapo, koyambirira kwa Seputembala, ndinapita kukathamanga pa Nauset Beach ku Orleans ku Outer Cape. Pakayandikira kugwa kwa equinox, dzuwa limatsika, ndipo thambo limasanduka buluu labwino kwambiri. Madzulo ano, ndikutuluka mphepo pang'ono, ndinamva mtendere womwe sindinakhalepo nawo. Mtendere unakula. Pomaliza, ndikudalira, ndidafuula, "Mulungu, ngati ndinu, ndiroleni ndikumvereni, ndidziwitseni ..."

Pasanathe masekondi, ndinali ndikulira ndikugwada mwakachetechete mumchenga. Ndinamva bwino tsikulo mumtima mwanga, mumtima mwanga: "Inde, ndilidi, ndipo sindidzakusiyani!"

Ine sindinayambe ndayang'ana mmbuyo mu kukayikira Mulungu. Ngakhale ndimachita manyazi kuyenda kwanga nthawi zina, ndikudziwa kuti Mulungu si malingaliro a wina ayi. Pali zinthu zoyipa kuposa tchimo, ndaphunzira - kusiya!

Zingakhale zovuta kusiyanitsa malingaliro ndi moyo. Zimatengera ntchito. Malingaliro amangolowera. Ambiri samvetsetsa za dementia. Mawuwo amaopseza gehena kunja kwa iwo-chiwanda cha m'Baibulo chikulira mchipululu. Ena amakonda kungoyendetsa galimoto pang'ono chabe — kumwetulira, kugwirana chanza, “Moni, ya,” mawu olimbikitsa, kapena kumuyang'anitsitsa. Ndani angawadzudzule? Koma pali zambiri zoti muphunzire, zambiri zoti muchite, pomenya nkhondo yauzimu yolimbana ndi Alzheimer's, yomwe ikukonzekera kutenga Baby Boom Generation ndi mibadwo ina ikubwerayi.

Woyambitsa mnzake wa UsAgainstAlzheimer a George Vradenburg, wamkulu wakale wa CBS, Fox, ndi AOL / Time Warner, adati ndizabwino pankhani yolimbana ndi Alzheimer's: "Iyi ndi nkhondo ... tipambana chifukwa tikufuna ataya ambiri panjira. ”

Ndi chikhulupiriro tsopano chomwe chikutsogolera njira.
