Welcome to the Alzheimer's Forum
Your weekly magazine on the web
A website designed and written by people with dementia from around the world.
Being diagnosed with dementia does not mean the end of life. We still have brains, we can still laugh and cry. We still have feelings!
This website highlights how having any type of dementia or memory related problem can affect us all through the different stages of the illness.
'Dementia is not just an illness - it's a whole new way of life for us and for our families.'
Although this website is designed for people with memory problems, even families and carers will find it of use in broadening awareness of the illness.
We're in a class of our own worldwide
This website is written BY and FOR people with dementia

NEW IDEA!
See our new Photo Gallery under the Multimedia section.
Our latest contribution in the Thoughts and Experiences section is a moving account of how someone has dealt with his diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Go to Thoughts and Experiences and click on I have just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and read Ron's contribution and then read Richard's response to Ron's email.
Listen to Barry recite his own poem entitled Of My Eyes in the Multimedia section.
Read and join with others, send us your poems, thoughts or anything you want to write about as there will always be a listening ear.
Do you have a Predicament of the Month?
This month we would like your views about any changes you notice in yourself as a result of your illness? What in particular worries you?
Email us and let us know. Share your predicament with others and get their views.
Check out our Poetry section - some are funny and some are sad, but they are all worth reading. Maybe you could send us a poem, sometimes it's easier to get the message across through a poem. Why not have a go?
Remember you are never alone so email us as we want to hear from you.
