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.

Thank you for sharing your experienced insight. I am an eternal optimist and a preparer...there is so little we can ACTUALLY do to direct the course of our lives in this role...
No my mother is now 85!! But it does run in the family! She was not early onset...Carolin.
Unfortunately, yes. My Mom had it for 20 years died at 98. My Mom was one of those who became a baby at the end. My husband has been diagnosed since 2016. I pray that something else will take him… 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?
I had problems with mom. I think of her she needed to take brain vitamins and she had to have test so doctor would know what vitamins they give her v my mom never took an aspirin. But everything went… read more
