There is no disease that scares me more than this: to lose control of my mind. As a programmer besides my hands it&#x27;s what makes me go. I watched my father fall apart from Hemochromatosis (iron overload), which is easy to treat these days, and especially when his once brilliant mind couldn&#x27;t even pay for things anymore without being confused. In his case it was due to the iron deposits in his brain but the effect was similar to Alzheimers. It&#x27;s hard to see the person you knew become someone else.
