New to all of this

Mrs Bates

Hi, my husband is 59 and was just diagnosed with mild dementia last week. We also learned that he has had a stroke. We don't know when it happened, but I believe it was related to his hospitalization in October of 2022. This is all brand new, and we're still figuring out how to handle any of it..

I am 56 and was diagnosed in July 2023 with early onset Alz. New to this and curious how other people feeling. ✌🏽

My husband is about to turn 58 in a couple weeks and we just found out he may have EOD, I am 9 years younger than him. His mom passed away in February 2022 from Dementia. He is going to do a clinical trial where he will have MRI and PET scans and a spinal tap. If anything, maybe he can be contributing to help find a cure down the road. We both work full time, together! I don’t know if I would have known he was having cognitive issues, had we not worked together for the last year, kinda a blessing in disguise. I need to start figuring out all the things I need to do and get in order.

Newly diagnosed, I am 53. My days are up and down. Navigating new meds has been stressful. All of it feels stressful.
