Welcome Michaeleen. I do not have Alzheimer's Disease but I was diagnosed as having cognitive impairment nos with memory loss in 2008 at age 58. I continue with treatment for memory loss. I have learned quite a lot about living with memory loss and I may be able to answer some questions for you. Please post back.

I am 59 years old and I received the AD diagnosis 2 months ago. I am struggling emotionally with it so much. Not to be funny, but my brain is all over the place. It just continues to race. I'm having lots of trouble with sleeping.
I meet with a genetics doctor next week to see if I even quality for Leqembi, although I'm not ready to make that decision. More conversations with my new doctors.
I am scheduled for an amyloid PET scan on 1/29.
I wish there was some sort of interactive group for people living with dementia. I have so many questions
