Hi, I am 44 years of age. I started having issues with memory over 3 years ago. I finally had a SPECT scan January 2023 and was diagnosed with young-onset Altzhimers.
Is there anyone else like me here?
I'm worried for my children and wife. For what they have to witness, ahead.
Hi there.
Yes, diagnosed about 2 years ago .. in mid-fifties.
The anxiety around what the future will hold for family, etc is a constant battle.
We all have different ways of coping with this.. The only thing that has given me any sort of relief is to try plan ahead, with family help, to create a future where it may be possible to be less burden to your family..
.. I'm still trying to get thi together.. But it is the only thing that give a little satisfcation.
I have vascular Demetia, and the progression may be different in everyone..
I'm still looking for a whatsapp or other group to share silly things that others may relate to.
... and now I'm exhausted after typing..
