I think this is an excellent idea. You can see it coming at you like a train down the tracks...if you are aware and have dealt with it before. I am. I cared for my mom who died at 72 after 10 years of early onset Alzheimer's, and for my younger brother who had AIDS-related dementia before his death. Also looked after my father who died at 88 and stepmom who passed at 86 and both had age-related issues. So, now I'm 77 and seeing some of the early signs.
Would be nice to have someone to talk to.

I hit 79 last June and am slightly forgetting names of commonalities like our LOCAL SUPERMARKET. Will hit the internet to see if there is anything that can be done to slow this process down...and get back to you and the group that you are forming. GOOD FOR YOU and GOD BLESS...MargaretOB
REVIEW SCOUT on the computer has a guy who spent his life finding ootropics to help with the forgetfulness problems. He found the fakes and the best and listed them. ANOTHER SITE said that taking a probiotic daily will help as the stomach is somehow connected. to the nerves in the BRAIN. READING opens up the memory bank for more excercise and memory. One site says that repeating the forgotten item ten times will help. WILL TRY IT ALL...MargaretOB

Hi @jackchap, welcome. What early signs are you noticing and how do you manage them?
