         If you were recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and are interested in clinical trials or participating in research there is a site you can go to see if you might qualify to participate in a mild Alzheimer's study.

            I am curious what the first few things you recommend someone who lives on their own do after receiving an Alzheimer's or dementia diagnosis. Thank you.0

I was diagnosed with early onset dementia at 49.
I hope to be in a clinical study for a cure.
