    Hi Carol,

     

    I hope you are well.  Thanks for this post - sharing your personal story is really helpful to others and I think I've read you say for yourself too.

     

    Though my folks are not facing Alzheimer's or Dementia, I am at the other end of the spectrum - I live long distance from them and sometimes fear I might not be with them enough to see if any of their behavior is deserving of evaluation.  They are still young, though I realize after being around this community for a bit now, that age is not something that prevents this disease from happening to someone.  

     

    For those of you looking for help with caring for loved ones, visit our Caregiver Center for more information.

     

    As well, you may want to view our Alzheimer's Video library for more valuable information on this disease. 

     

    All the best, sue (moderator)
