Hello JohnTrans,

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

That's not the news any of us want to hear John and I'm wondering if you have a good support system there at home to help you as you deal with being given this diagnosis?

We do have a specific forum here for Dementia. Dementia subForum

Tell us more about yourself if you want and if you have any questions or need help navigating the site, please just let us know and we can help you.

take care there.

That's harsh news for sure.

Share as much or as little as you want. At least for me, sharing makes me feel better.

Hi John,
I'm very sorry to hear your news. I lost my Mother to Alzheimer's 2 years ago after a 10 year battle. Damage to the brain is extremely upsetting for it is where the 'I' resides. My brain injury (Stroke/TIA or something else) caused a lesion through my occipital region, affecting my eyes. I wonder every day whether I will have another Event, so I understand somewhat where your thought processes must be.
Anything I can do in the way of support, just ask.

Dave.
