- The Tangled Neuron started as a personal site chronicling my search for answers on my father's dementia. Although it's too late to help Dad, I hope to provide the information other people with memory loss, their families and caregivers need to make decisions, identify resources and find new ways to live with memory loss. Inclusion of links, advertisements and content generated by others does not imply endorsement. Remember, nothing on this site is meant as a substitute for professional medical advice or for using your own judgment!
My father is noticing that my mother is forgetting things. Unfortunately instead of taking on some of the responsibility for keeping track of appts. and other dates, he makes her feel stupid when she does forget. This stresses her more and makes her concentration worse. She used to have the memory of an elephant. If she is sliding into dementia, my brother and I will have to find a way to control my father and save face for my mother.

Hi,
I came across your site while searching for information on my Dad's condition, Lewy Body Dementia. Thank you for a very well conceived and informative site. If you'd like to add to your above list, I have a blog about my family's journey with LBD, http://lewybodydementia.wordpress.com
Thank you,
Holly

I am so grateful to have found your site. I am struggling to care for my mother who has Alzheimer's as well as spreading cancer. There's another site I have visited that should be on your list of blogs, Mia at Midlife (http://www.MiaAtMidlife.com).
It's a grief and caregiving blog by a woman who spent three years taking care of her mother with emphysema and dementia and who had uphill struggles because of her father's dementia. Thank you for your site and your helpful list of lists.

I am a professional caregiver, and now a caregiver at home. New to blogging, but it is helping me redefine my life, and learn from my own experiences. I named my blog findingbeautyinbrokenglass on googles blogspot. Finding beauty in our own experiences is often difficult to do. I hope by blogging I will create a journal for my own growth and discovery. I also would like to share it with others in my professional experience. I want to thank the creaters of this blog it has been helpful to gain insight both personally for my family, and professionally as a caregiver. Working as a nurse in Re-hab I will have many to teach and share with.

What a great list of resources! Thanks for sharing these. I've added a link to this in an Alzheimer's discussion on WEGO Health so other Health Activists can come here and check them out.

I have just begun this blog about my mother who was diagnosed with Dementia three years ago. I am documenting events which have happened over the past three years with her, and would like to share them with others who are dealing with parents or loved ones with Dementia.
