Next month on November 13th, all adults should really think about getting a memory screening. I am only 36, but Alzheimers, as well as a host of other geriatric diseases like Dementia, can appear in your early 30s. Hosted by the Alzheimer's Foundation Of America, the National Memory Screening Day, is a free confidential service provided to those who are concerned with memory loss or associated problems. Memory screens are an important first step in early detection of alzheimers, and other memory loss conditions. Memory loss can also be caused by depression, thyroid disorders, or even vitamin deficiencies. That is why it is a good idea to be screened at any age. You can go to the National Screening Website and find a screening location in your area. Early detection of an illness can lead to early diagnosis and a better quality of life. There is no cure for Alzheimers, but the Alzheimers Federation Of America is dedicated to continued research.Their website can offer encouragement and ideas on aging and caring for your loved one. Your donation to the Alzheimers Foundation can help them to find a cure!

Thanks for the headsup on the screening day. My husband is always telling me I am so forgetful.
