I was diagnosed at 55. Now I'm 60. I haven't worked since I was 48. Now I wish I had continued as long as I could. My husband is out of work but looking. It's tough trying to find work when you are that close to retirement age. DH is 60 also. I'm not on medication yet.

As for brushing my teeth, I had to get en electric toothbrush. It really helps. Also for flossing I started using those picks that hold the floss and look like a two prong pitchfork.

Good luck starting a group.
