after losing my mom to dementia

My mom had Alzheimer’s- We had her tested by local dr that specializes in this area..

My Dad probably had a bit of it as well ( both in their 80s).

4 years After they both passed away, I was diagnosed with Mild Dementia at age 70. 😢 That was hard to accept but Thankful my Brother was with me for my Dr Visit and who keeps an eye on me regularly .

Curious if any others who have it, had a parent with it as well ?

I am trying to get as much education in this to hopefully do the right things to prevent further damage.

  1. Thank you for your reply. I am curious as well. I will be interested in what our community has to say. How great it is that your brother has been with you. Always like to see families involved. Scott AlzheimersDisease.net Team Member
