and any idea if alzhemeher patients can be taken on holiday abroad via air travel???
Hi human4 I noted you just recently joined Talking Point for advise obviously you will need to decided what you do with that advise , personally I can only advise you on my own experiences of living with my dementia for 22 years I joined talking point / Alzheimer’s society in March 2005 so you can look me up if you do you will note I have always had a positive outlook in relation to my dementia
Re: your question on holidays I usually go on holiday abroad twice a year never had any issues with airlines there is no requirement to tell the airline you have dementia
, I always drive when I’m abroad unfortunately last year holidays were cancelled
however I did book a holiday for September after I booked was told I may need to go on dialysis because I had a kidney removed because of cancer
but fortunately my surviving kidney is coping now so holiday for September is back on I also have a holiday booked for May 2022
so maybe I’m being optimistic but I rather think I’m being positive only thing with other medical issues no travel insurance will give me cover but once again that my decision to way up the risk let face it what’s the worst that could happen.
at 78 years old life to short to worry about doom and gloom
human4 this is only my personal views I’m not suggesting anything or offering advise
ps I was 56 when first dignosed
