“This is a good starting point for having a productive conversation with your family doctor,” said Jim Herlihy, spokesperson for the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado. “I would suggest bringing these questions in writing along with any other specific concerns or examples you may have. There can be a number of reasons behind memory loss and personality change, so it’s important to get guidance from your doctor as early as possible.” For individuals who have immediate questions, the Alzheimer’s Association has a free, 24/7
Helpline staffed by trained professionals who can provide guidance and support: 800-272-3900. Information also is available on the Association’s website: www.alz.org. A free online webinar explaining the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s is available here .
