Hi, I'm Joyce. My husband was diagnosed with mixed dementia 10 years ago, fortunately it was an early diagnosis and he has been on tablets ever since. He is retired, being somewhat older than me, and I currently still work full time as he is still fairly independent. I have only just realised this forum existed, and I am sure I will find it very helpful - we do have our moments! and there are times when I feel guilt for being out at work so much.

Welcome from me too @JoyceH I really hope you will find this forum helpful and supportive.
Well done for being a primary carer for 10 years and holding a job down at the same time.
As for `having your moments` I`m sure we will all identify with that.
