In addition to the tragedy of the disease, the horror of the situation is compounded by the fact that you must make a decision about your future, BEFORE you know which path your AD will take. If not, the decision is removed from you and your family.

Thanks, so much, Fc1345linville. I find the link comforting. While I am only 52, with no cognitive decline at this point, it worries me. (As can be anticipated, as I also have the "worrier" gene. LOL). I am currently working into the recommended protocols, and had already lived a relativel...

Hey, thanks for letting us all know about this series. I really enjoyed a few of them. :) First: Stavia, you are a saint! Thanks so much for outlining these for us. Most of the time, I listed to them while out walking or cooking. So, I couldn't take notes. (And, then there were the ones I just found...

It is so nice to have such support. I was, only recently, a scared new post. Thanks!

Circular. I have also been dealing with thyroid nodules since 2012. I want to encourage you with the iodine supplementation, as I have had good results.

You are amazing! And quite the success story. As you know, this has been an adjustment for me. My 4/4-status-discovery-funk was further enhanced by finding out about the "secret" dementia in my grandparents. Arg. Add that to the fact that I have had 3 concussions, 1 with 48-72 hours of amn...

Hello, Bret! Nice to see you here. I have been on a few months. I strongly agree with the "one day at a time" concept. I do what I can, when I can. When I first found out, I literally wore myself out trying to read everything. Not much of it stuck, as a result. Additionally, I added to my ...
