A heartfelt, moving and necessary book on what it is like to live with Alzheimer's that will bring comfort to anyone suffering from the early onset of the disease, as well as their loved ones.I hope this book can show people a little about what it is like to live with Alzheimer's. How frightening and confusing it is. But also how much life can still bring joy and be valued.British television broadcaster Fiona Phillips was sixty years old when she discovered that she had early-onset Alzheimer's disease. She had cared for her parents who had both suffered from the disease and was now facing the same heartbreaking diagnosis—under no illusions about what it would mean for her and her family.With courage and determination, Fiona set out to chronicle what was happening to her in the hope that her book would help others. From the tiny first warning signs—the inability to concentrate and the 'brain fog' she wrote off as the menopause—to the gradual loss of her memories and her growing confusion, she reveals how the disease progresses and how she copes. She also shares her experiences with the NHS and the systems that may seem hard for patients and their families to navigate.Moving and inspirational, Remember Me shows what it is like to live with Alzheimer's, but also how life can still bring joy and be valued. Above all, Fiona wants everyone touched by this disease to know that they are not alone.
