I bought that book but could ever bring myself to read it. I eventually gave it away.

Sally M is also the founder of the Playlist for Life Charity.

Straight away she mentioned something that I had noticed. Long before any diagnosis the loss of curiosity, of enthusiasm. Of course these things only came spasmodically as we’ve all
Noticed so it takes a while before the evidence builds up. Another very interesting point is that her mother was a twin but the twin didn’t get the illness!

I don`t seem able to read of others` experiences however relevant they are.

I don`t understand why I find it different here on DTP but it is as it is.

I posted that back in January so I don't know if it is still on iplayer or Sounds. Have a root about online and you might find it.
