New Diagnosis

[Im just me]

Hi I have recently had my Diagnosis of Alzheimer's I am a 57 year old and have watched my dad suffer for the last 7 years with this disease.
I am looking forward to the help and advise on this site as I was given nothing by my consultant just my diagnosis in a letter pre covid.

Hello @Im just me and welcome to DTP.

Unfortunately its very common for the memory clinic to just make a diagnosis and then send you away. Fortunately, you have found the forum here, which is very supportive
