Has Anyone (under 65) Self-tested Because Of Memory Issues?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

I'm a caregiver for my Mom and concerned about my own memory loss. Not sure if it's just "busy" me doing too much. But curious is I should go for baseline testing.

Is Everyone Following A Mediterranean Diet, As Much As Possible?

Please Share With Me The Time Frame You Have Personally Experienced With Alzheimer’s
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

I am fully aware that each patient is unique with this disease. I still would appreciate hearing your own experiences. From the time that symptoms were first observed how and when was the diagnosis made? Then after that how many years did it take for the disease to progress to its more advanced or final stage?
Thank you.
