As a follow up to my last blog, if you missed “The Alzheimer's Project", the groundbreaking HBO documentary series aired May 9 – 12, the films are available online at www.alz.org/HBO and also at http://www.hbo.com/alzheimers/. They will also air again throughout May on HBO and HBO2.

If you were able to watch, please share your thoughts about ‘The Alzheimer's Project’ at http://alzheimers.infopop.cc/eve/forums and here on my blog.  The Alzheimer’s forum page has several opportunities: not only can you discuss the project, but it also has forums for those who have Alzheimer’s Disease, questions about medication treatments, caregiving, and forums in Spanish.

Remember that Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging – it's a progressive and fatal disease.  Every 70 seconds someone develops Alzheimer’s and now Alzheimer's disease is rated the seventh-leading cause of death.

If you are assisting someone with memory loss or Alzheimer’s Disease, speak with your loved one’s health care provider and visit www.alz.org to learn more on how to support yourself and your loved one.
