I belong to a group called DASNI (Dementia Advocacy and Support Network International). We have in the area of three hundred members from all over the world. Mostly persons with early stage dementia. We have carepartners and loyal supporters. We also follow our disease. Our journey in life is to help others thru these diseases by writing and publishing biographys, giving lectures, keeping blogs and websites, attending conferences, and working towards "nothing about us without us" by helping to bring awareness of the early stages when medications help the most. We love sharing information and we have internet chat 4 times per day. Our website is www.dasninternational.org.

I too have problems with spelling and organizational skills, cooking, reading, and money but focus on what I am able to do and not what I cannot. Please check us out and join our chat as we share what cannot be learned from text books.
Aloha, Jeanne
