Wales UK

Year of diagnosis 2013

tentative diagnosis in falls clinic I was 68

Definitive diagnosis July 2013 .they bcompared scans over 7 years. scary.

Altzeimers and vascular dementia mixed.

I take pride in the fact that I carried on with my life joined a peer support group as chair.I am active in the community part of the village debating society and credative writing group.

My GP has not had much to do with my dementia.

My specialist from the dementia hospital is very supportive and so are the specialist nurses that do home visits and memory clubs.

Some of my family are in denial some keep away.My daughters do accept it now.
