Thanks for your message.I’m so sorry about your Mum.So hard for you.Alzheimers is awful. Look after yourself. My Mum was only diagnosed 2 years ago.Can’t imagine what it would be like for 12 years.I also find it hard that people- including health professionals-have so little knowledge/understanding

Kia ora, lovely to hear from you. My Mum has Alzheimers so I have mainly been looking after her for the last 2 years.
How are you ? Great to be in touch again.
It seems so nice on here compared with the place we have all migrated from !
