Alzheimer's News at Alzheimer's Notes - Senior Testing

Yoy might enjoy keeping up to date with what's going on at my Alzheimer's Notes blog at b5media, where I co-blog with Liz Lewis. We balance one another really well and enjoy this joint venture.

A topic gets you thinking is Should All Seniors Be Tested for Alzheimer's? And my personal reflections since I'm a senior, Do I Want to Be Tested for Alzheimer's?

I asked for others to share their thoughts. So I’ll begin:

Do I want to be tested? More specifically, do I want someone to say, “You MUST be tested for Alzheimer’s or your likeliness of acquiring it?”

What do you think? Do you want to be tested? Let us know what you think.

Check Out Alzheimer's Notes for the Latest News

Since it's difficult to keep two blogs fully updated, I recommend that visitors to this blog check out my Alzheimer's Notes blog at b5media. Liz Lewis and I draw from experience and online and print resources to bring you the latest about Alzheimer's and caregiving.

For instance, we've been discussing whether drinking wine will help slow Alzheimer's. Also, what do you think about placing microchips on Alzheimer's patients to help find them when they wander? I also have a poll at Alzheimer's Notes regarding this latter topic.

See you at Alzheimer's Notes!

My Co-Blogger on Alzheimer's Notes Interviewed

Liz Lewis, my co-blogger over at b5media's Alzheimer's Notes has been interviewed by Yvonne Russell at Grow Your Writing Business. Yvonne calls her a freelance writing blogstar who has been developing her career very rapidly.

With her experience as an RN working with older adults, Liz complements my experience as a caregiver for my mom and aunt. We also come from opposite sides of the globe so now give Alzheimer's Notes an international dimension.

Co-Author at My Other Alzheimer's Blog

At Alzheimer's Notes at b5media, Liz Lewis from New Zealand has joined me as a co-author. She's an RN and works with the over 65 age group, thus has experience with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Liz will be adding an international, as well as professional dimension to the blog, since I live in the US and have been involved with Alzheimer's as a caregiver for my mom and aunt, author, and speaker.
