in I Am Living With Younger Onset Alzheimer's
I’m freaking out because it appears to me that it’s saying I have ad. Now to wait for my appointment to go over my bloodwork and pet results in two weeks. Unfortunately my family has a strong history of early onset dementia, but still, 42 is the youngest in my family if it’s true. I’m hoping doing some research will help quite my mind. All I can think about sometimes is how bad my grandma was the last several years. What’s the best thing to start researching first?

    Welcome WonderWomanMama. I'm a bit confused, you will be getting your PET scan results in a couple of weeks? What type of PET scan was it? Have you heard of the DIAN study? It is in regards to genetic early onset AD. You might want to check that out. Have you had neurocognitive testing? Please keep us updated with what is going on with you.
