  Hello my name is Eleanor. 

My dad was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s when he was 56 years old. I was 15 years old at the time and struggled to come to terms with it all. I have set up an Instagram page called early_onset_alzheimers_support for any families who are currently struggling to come to terms with it all and need some advice from some who has been through it all. Eleanor Xx


I’m sorry I don’t often talk on this forum, but please feel free to message anytime to my Instagram page. I’m apologise if people do not have access to Instagram. I may set up a blog to document everything on there Xx
