Dementia materials aimed at caregivers, not me as the patient

@jlam1950 I live alone and have dementia. I also resented that everything is about the caretaker and not the person with the disease.
So, I started a group here on the connect site for people like us. It’s heading is mild cognitive impairment.
If you are open to speaking with others who have dementia via Zoom meetings let me know. They are all dementia patients, not a caretaker in sight.
Dementia is not something I ever thought would happen to me. I’m 75 and still “truckin”.

Hi Susan
I’m sorry to hear you have Dementia. I fear now I may have it as well and scheduled an appointment to see my doctor on the May 30th. I’m 64 male and been having memory issues with twitching in my muscles and mood swings. Tell the truth I am terrified.
