Imagine having a mysterious illness take over your mind. Over the next 10 years, you try to navigate a health care and social system that is not equipped to address what is happening to you. As you slowly lose your ability to think and remember, you have to try to hide the losses to protect you and your family financially. You encounter doctors who are at best baffled, and order a series of nonspecific, redundant, and uninformative studies. If you want to know what it is like to walk in the shoes of one person with Alzheimer’s, read this book, whether you are a patient, care partner, doctor, or other health provider. It is raw and scary, as well as inspiring, given the self-disclosure. As well as describing, sometimes painfully and in harrowing detail, what we are doing wrong, it can tell us a great deal about what we need to do differently going forward.. Every individual with an illness like Alzheimer’s deserves a prompt, thorough, empathic, and well-informed evaluation. Every family needs and deserves support. Every reasonable research question should be pursued. At the close of his book, Michael Ellenbogen says that, “I would like to be remembered for influencing change…and helping others.” I think that he will be. Pierre N. Tariot, MD Director, Banner Alzheimer’s Institute Research Professor of Psychiatry University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix, Arizona

5.0 out of 5 stars From someone with first-hand experience with Alz.

This book is especially important to read and add to your Alzheimer's library because Michal is living with Alzheimer's. He is well spoken, intelligent and able to relate to professionals and non-professionals alike when it comes to living with Alzheimer's. I remember my husband wanting to join a group that would allow him to talk to others about his own experience, fears, and options. I was unable to find any such group for him here in Maine back in 2003. At that time he had just been diagnosed with his vascular dementia, a business professor for 15 years and previously an officer in the Air Force for a 21-year career, he was curious to get as much information as he could. It was really important for him to know people like Michael. You can see more about my husband at Remembering4You (dot) com and his story.

Michael has contributed articles to my monthly newsletter and continues to be a great inspiration/support to me personally and professionally. He is right in his goal to improve the care we provide the millions who are living with Alzheimer's and also to change our perspective on long-term care. It is time we put a new show on the road and this book will show you WHY.

Helping my father with Alzheimer's has been a difficult task. Throughout the process, I wanted to learn all I could about the disease and how it felt to him. Many times while reading Michael's book, I thought, "That must have been how Dad felt." Michael's story is one of long and lonely years, tying to get someone to listen to the changes that were taking place and get the help he needed. The disease of Alzheimer's already affects millions of people and those numbers will be growing. I hope this book helps the medical community to understand that they must listen to the clients in their offices. And for the rest of us, to show compassion for those who have this awful disease.

I have Alz. Reading is very difficult. I read this book within 24 hours. Michael gives a chilling and realistic account of being a young professional facing life with a compromised brain. Michael gives detailed accounts of his disabilities and how he deals with them. The emotional difficulties are also addressed. Alz. has many of the same symptoms of depression and anxiety. This book is also a story of a person who takes on the disease and does not back down.

I recommend this to anyone with Alz. that wants more out of life than just giving into the disease. I recommend this to professionals especially those who diagnose dementia because tests alone can be deceptive, the interview is so important because one has to understand the severity of the disease. This book gives great detail and insight into what it is like living with Alz.. A caregiver will be given insight into what a person with Alz. is dealing with.

This book at times is very raw but leaves one better educated and hopeful that people like Michael exist and doing their best to advance the Alz. cause.

I was somewhat disappointed in this book as my need for info centers
on a person further along in the disease. I do appreciate the usefulness of this book for some one in the beginning stages and the efforts put forth by the author.

Michael Ellenbogen shows that the face of Alzheimer's Disease is changing and growing ever younger. Wake up America...Alzheimer's is not just your grandparents disease anymore!!! People all over the world are living and functioning with AD trying to stave off the later stages. The United States lags behind Australia, Japan, Britain and France in treatment and care for Alzheimer's Disease. In contrast, Alzheimer's Disease has been neglected and not the politically correct disease to receive research dollars and funding in the US. Alzheimer's is a ravaging brain disease and it will ravage the United States Health Care System in the if congressional heads continue to turn away and pretend that this disease is not an ever growing crisis!

Michael, you have created a must have book for anyone needing or wanting to know the ins and outs of everyday life and the obstacles that will be faced by people with Alzheimer's. As a person who has tested positive for a gene mutation that causes Alzheimer's, I found it especially useful for when my time comes to face this dreaded disease. Keep on being a great advocate for Alzheimer's and know that you will never be alone.

Thank you Michael for understanding the importance of writing what was happening to you as your Alzheimer's progressed. This is a detailed story from the first test to the diagnosis. You are a blessing to the Alzheimer's family for telling 'their' story too. Thank you for the test results from beginning to end to help people understand that they are not alone. You are awesome to have written this book for those who now don't have the ability to say...I hear you, I love you, what did you say, I don't understand, I love you, who are you?

Blessings to all that read this book. Blessings to each person touched by Alzheimer's and Lewy Body Dementia. Thank you Michael.

The information in this book helped me to understand what my husband is going through. He is a very private person and does not like to talk about his Alzheimer's so it is hard to understand his limitations. Mr. Ellenbogen's openness was very enlightening and will certainly help me and my family in the best way to help us deal with this devastating disease.
