Who do you turn to for support?

Whether you're a caregiver or living with Alzheimer's, everyone needs support.

  1. I have Early Onset Alzheimer's. My family is a tremendous support system for me. However, Memory Warriors is a good on-line Facebook support system for me as well because it's members are going, have gone through, or expect to go through, the same things I am.

    1. Thank you for this information. I'd like to find a group in the St. Louis, MO area too.

    2. Is there an alzheimers.org there in St. Louis? Scott AlzheimersDisease.net Team Member

    1. Hi , I'm so sorry to hear this. Have you considered looking for a support group? Everyone needs someone to lean on when the going gets tough. Whether you are a patient or a caregiver, I would recommend checking out this article - https://alzheimersdisease.net/caregivers/support-groups to find something that fits what you may need. Sending you hug, Amanda (Team Member)

    2. thank you for reaching out. I am glad you are part of our community. In your post, you mentioned that you had no one for support. I actually have been there as a caregiver. I had to reach out into the community. there definitely is help out there, not always easy to find, but help is out there.
      Are you a caregiver or someone who is personally battling through Alzheimer's Disease? I have attached an article link with some potential resources out there. Hope it is helpful. https://alzheimersdisease.net/answers/resources. Please reach out to let us know how you are doing. Appreciate you being part of our AlzheimersDisease.net family.

  4. I am in an Eli Lilly study as I am early onset Alzheimers. My brother and girlfriend accompany me to my appointments. They are a great help, but I'd like to find a group so that I don't wear them out.

    1. Thank you for sharing. So glad that you have help that accompanies you. Scott AlzheimersDisease.net Team member

    2. I am very glad that you have family that accompanies you to appointments. Also, glad you found Alzheimersdisease.net. We have a great community here. I have attached a link for some virtual support groups that the Alzheimer's Association holds, for individuals with early onset diagnosis. Might be an additional opportunity for support for you. https://www.alz.org/wi/helping-you/early-stage-programs. If you have any further questions -just reach back out.
