I just finished listening to a cd book called "still Alice" I would highly recomend every one to read this book. So far, at least the first part, she decribes exactly what its like for me!
Glad to hear your recommendation on "Still Alice", this book is on my reading wish list. I'm going to pursue borrowing it from our library on my next visit.
It is an excellent book! I reviewed it on my site. I read another one just recently called "Living in the Labyrinth" about a 45 year old woman diagnosed with EOAD. It's a very short book but describes what it was like for her to go through this sad journey. I believe personal stories can tell us more about this disease right along with the medical books. Stay strong, Laura! Barbara
EOAD(early onset alzheimers dz) is when someone below the age of 65 gets alzheimers, usualy between the ages of 30-50. Most poeple aren't prepared at this age, are you? Do you have long term life insurance? Are you sure?
