Hello there !

[J&S]

Hi I have recently been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s and am looking to contact and talk to people with similar circumstances. I am 62 years old and very active with hobbies and volunteering . I feel it would help to talk to people to understand everything and how it effects someone like myself and family and friends

Welcome to the forum @J&S

I’m sure you’ll find plenty of understanding here so do have a look around at the other posts. There’s plenty of shared experience here from both people with dementia and those who care for them.

Hi @J&S
welcome! I would suggest you start a thread under the section ‘ I have dementia’ and some of our members who have dementia may well respond. I’m glad you’ve found us as we all ’get it’ here.
