My 60 yr old husband was diagnosed a bit more than 4 years ago with EOAD/FTD w/ behavioral variant. He is late stage 6 with some components of stage 7. He is at home w/ me and I have part time care that comes to help. After an appt w/ his dr treating his symptoms, he tells me that because my husband is so physically…
Tomorrow afternoon is Leqembi infusion #10. You'd think by now I wouldn't be so anxious about it. I've been taking anti-anxiety medication since the beginning, but ANXIOUS I am! I have all these racing thoughts, feel everything and nothing all at the same time. I know how that sounds, but it's the only way to describe it.…
Hi everyone, My name is Cole, I’m 36, and my husband is 37 (turning 38 in July). I’m Autistic, and I’m very good at recognizing patterns — which is how I started putting pieces together that something was very wrong. Looking back, my brain started tracking the weirdness 2–3 years ago, but honestly, most of our marriage has…
Dh has young onset and I feel like I'm losing my mind. Feels like I'm constantly walking on eggshells so that I don't say or do the wrong thing. And like I'm constantly running interference between him and two oldest kids. He has very little patience with them and says that they're constantly giving him attitude or talking…
Im single and work fulltime. I live paycheck to paycheck. I'm in early/mild , kinda crossing over. I have no idea what to expect. Or any kind of timeline. I have debts and need some direction. There is no long/short term disability where I work. I expect a 2 week severance when they find out. How long will i be able to…
Young onset husband worked for 18 years as a teacher. He left 10 years ago for what we called "stress" then, but same symptoms he's experiencing now. Confirmed Alzheimers. Because he never wanted to return to school, he transferred out his measly retirement account to an IRA. We were just denied SSDI, I'm assuming because…
My sister is 65, looks youthful, could almost "pass" for a non-dementia person if you don't try to have a conversation with her. Up till now we have had her living in a small house with a 24 hour aide. The landlord wants it back for his son, so we have to move her in July. It is not financially sustainable for her to…
Hi there. I'm new here. My 54-year-old husband was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's, although we've been working for a diagnosis for over a year, and I think his symptoms probably started three or four years ago. Here's my question/dilemma: Is it wrong for me to let my husband continue to drive? I ride with him in the car…
Hi I'm new here, my mom had been showing signs for over 2 years now. This summer they finally diagnosed her with dementia, I forget the exact type but they believe it was caused by her sleep apnea and not controlling her diabetes which decreased blood flow to her brain. Regardless it has definitely progressed quicker than…
