Alzheimer's blog roll
I want to update my list of blogs that talk about Alzheimer's. If you are a reader and have such a blog, or website, please send me the URL (even if you have before) and I'll post it on my sidebar. I only ask that you publish a link to here on your sidebar. Thanks.
Hey- Just found your blog through a Google search.
I do not talk exclusively about AD in my blog, but it is a large focus. My mother was diagnosed with AD when I was 22. I've slowly watched her unravel ever since.
Hi this is all knew to me I just started a blog this morning "Alzheimer's is horrid"My mother is now in a nursing home she is level 2. I am not sure how to find my url. I can only tell you I think I could sit here and write for days to unload the pain this disease causes. I am not even sure how to find you again. It is good to know there are others who understand how I feel. Thank you, Jewels
find me at http//jewels-alzheimersishorrid.blogspot.com Reading other journeys has beenso helpful to my soul thank you for sharing the good the bad the painful. Jewels
I have been looking for some one willing to share my blog about Alz. So thank you! My husband was diagnosed at 65 but we realized later how long he had really had it. We have 2 teenage daughters and life was turned upside down, I have been told my blog is a unique approach so you feedback would be welcome! www.Sherizeee.blogspot.com Thank you so much.
Hello, Oh, I accidentally found your blog and know that we are no small community. To help except what happened to my mom, I have blog also. Would certainly like to trade links. mine is www.free-alzheimers-support.com Thanks, Sandy
I also just found your blog through Google search as I was looking for resources on Alzheimers. My husband, myself and our 5 children care for my grandparents in our home. My grandfather is wheelchair bound and my grandmother has Alzheimers. They have lived in our home for almost 4years but we have lived together in some sort or fashion for almost 11. My blog is not solely about AD but it is a very large part of what I write about. Thank you for the connections to others who are caregiving for loved ones. My URL is.... onlyonelifehoneyhome.blogspot.com
This is my husband's blog. This is something he can still do....write and write well.
I, myself, do not blog....I stay connected to people in other ways...
If you are a caregiver and interested in staying connected find a support group....we go together to our support group; but regardless you need to get out and talk with people one on one or in a group.
I wish I could figure out how to actualy follow other's in "blogland" it is so confusing. There is comfort when I can red how others are dealing with this.
Hi, Yes, I did submit before and have since been reading your blog. It's strange but it's hard to let go even after they're gone. My mom has been gone 3 years too. I finally have my blogroll up again (yours included)after installing a new template. ugh! That was some work. Mine is: http://free-alzheimers-support.com

Http://www.potomacgrouphomes.com - we just start providing information about Alzheimer's care and research. Love reading your blog, a real personal insight into how Alzheimer's affects a person.
I posted a comment on the birthday article you wrote. My blog is strictly caregiving related to AD. I don't have a sidebar yet, but I'll ask the design guy to do this for us.

Hi - along with my nurse partner, we run www.eldercompass.wordpress.com and delve extensively into eldercare issues as well as Alzheimer's. Would love to add your site to our blog links.
My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease three years back and it had gotten to a critical stage. A friend of mine then suggested me to try Lexor Health Vitamin B 12 sublingual supplements and it proved to be very beneficial. Vitamin B 12 really posses potential health benefits as it aids proper functioning of neurological system for regular brain function and helps regulate the formation of red blood cells.
My sister, brother-in-law and I have a website called Inside Aging Parent Care where we talk about our experiences caring for our parents who are both gone now.
We continue to blog about what we have learned and are still learning through the caregiving journey. You can find us at http://www.desperatecaregivers.com
These kinds of articles are always attractive and I am happy to find so many good points here in the post. I appreciate it very much! I am looking forward to other share. Thank you so much!
Currently, there is no drug or treatment program that stops the progression of Alzheimer's disease. However, for individuals who are in mild, and middle stages of the disease, certain drugs have proven successful.

My father's 1253-day journey through Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and my feelings about it. All material is copyrighted by Gevera Bert Piedmont (except where noted and where quoted from other sources); please do not repost without permission.
"The cost of Alzheimer's? Everything you ever owned, everything you ever thought you would get, and things you never even thought about."
"It's a long, slow slide into oblivion, with no brakes."
"If this was a paper journal, the ink would be running with tears."
"Imagine a really beautiful, perfect statue, left out in the wind and rain for centuries, to be worn away, until it’s only retained the shape of a person, not any of the individuality. That’s what Alzheimer’s did to my father. It wore him away, all the sharp edges and crisp points that made him Bob, who loved his family and his pets and his raspberry bushes, and turned him into a fearful person with a vague and confused stare."
"It's a nasty disease, surrounded by shadows and small, largely unseen tragedies."--Terry Pratchett
My parents
This is a reminder that Alzheimer's disease affects real people, real families. My dad wasn't a monster, just a man whose brain was slowly eaten by a terrible disease.

I care for my 81 year old Dad who has Alzheimer's and has lived with me since 2004.
KnowItAlz shows the "lighter" side of caring for someone with dementia.
Thanks!
