    You are young for a dementia dx. I am so sorry. Do you deliver things for a store? Every day?

    Hello, I was 61 when I realized something was wrong. Got my diagnosis at age 64. It's hard to know that the so-called "Golden years" won't be so golden.

    What do you know about your diagnosis? What kind of dementia?

    HI. I see a neurologist at the Memory center Feb. 12th. I saw his NP in July, 2025 but I have declined a lot, in my option. Having difficulty with everyday tasks. My balance is terrible. I remember very little. My husband died in 2021 so I live alone, with little support. Quit driving recently because I dont trust myself. That is horrible in itself. Taking Uber everywhere which is costly. I am scared to death for my future and my family
