Hello, I was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in October at the age of 49. I've had the the test and it does show I have one variance of the APOE/4 gene and the only kind of Alzheimer's we have my family is on my mom's side and they were diagnosed in their middle to late '70s. This is just been a shock I knew…
Hi everyone, My name is Christopher. I want to be transparent that I have medically documented mild cognitive impairment and post-concussion symptoms following motor-vehicle accidents, rather than a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. I am posting here because many members have valuable lived experience…
I am a 63 yo Psychotherapist getting tested for possible ALZ. I have been thru 2 different blood draws, a brain MRI, and a recent amyvid PET scan. The PET scan once again showed things that suggest ALZ. I have not seen the Neurologist yet to go over the results. I single, no kids and am attempting to figure out where I can…

My mom is 93 and two years ago was diagnosed with possible early dementia after leaving her home at 11PM and walking to the hairdresser's. Nothing like this has ever happened again,…
Hello! I recently moved my 79 y/o brother in with me from a different state after the death of his wife last November. He is wheelchair bound with multiple sclerosis and has just been diagnosed with mid stage Alzheimer's. He's had a difficult time adjusting to the new changes and has no desire to meet people in this area.…
My dad who is an incredibly healthy 75 year old (exercises, good weight, good diet, social, optimist) was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease two months ago. Right now he is in the mild cognitive phase. Does anyone have someone in their life who has both? I'm trying to grasp any idea of the timeline…
Hello! Happy to have found this forum because I'm so concerned about my dad. He has had memory impairment, social withdrawal, apathy and basically several symptoms that seem to be in line with Alzheimer's or pre-Alzheimer's MCI to me. Mom has been aware of the memory issues but taking a wait-and-see approach. Some things…
