    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.
