I'm looking for folks with younger onset early stage Alzheimer's in my south NJ Ocean County area who might be interested in attending a support group run by the Alzheimer's Association Greater NJ Chapter. We have a location in Bayville NJ we'll use. We're looking for facilitators now but we're also looking for attendees once we're up and running.
Contact me if you're interested.

In responding to the person who says her Mother, who is 88 is in Early Onset doesn't sound right to me. Early Onset as I understand it is when a person in their 50s or 60s is diagnosed with… read more
Hub’s doctor finally agrees that he needs to see a neurologist for a MRI. He is resisting any exam or meds. Doctor wants to rule out several possibilities… basically FTL, early onset ALZ or tumor. So close to a dx and yet so far. Any advice from those who have been there?
Lynn, my friend told her LO that his MRI was necessary because the doctor needed to know what kind of medication he needed and the MRI would help with that information. He probably has Frontal Temp… read more
