Living in Germany with Alzheimers

Hi, This is my first time of posting. I went looking for a support group for people living in Berlin who were English speakers living with AD and clicked up the discussion tab and ended here -- but I am feeling perhaps I am not in Germany anymore? I would love to find someone else who I could talk to about dealing with AD in Germany if there are others on this board.

    Hello. Perhaps there is an AD group in Berlin you could join. I humbly suggest you ask your neurologist. If you are an American, there may be assistance through the US Embassy. When I lived in Switzerland there was an organization for American women living in Switzerland. There ar also virtual support groups through the Alzheimer’s Association in the States. I am sorry you have AD. Having a support group it important. I wish you all the best.🤗

    Thanks for responding. There is an alz.org /deutschland site that I found and I clicked on their discussion forum but it just takes me to this one. It must be an affiliate. Best wishes.

    If you cannot find a group in Germany, come back here, we would love to have you join in. Time difference would be a lot but you would still find "family" here. Best to you. 💖
