Poll Results – Would You Write About Alzheimer’s?

The results from my latest poll on Alzheimer’s Notes indicates that a wide majority of people would write about their experiences as an Alzheimer’s caregiver for a family member. Eighty-six percent responded that they would; no one said no; no one voted that they’d write if it could be done anonymously; Fourteen percent were undecided.
More caregivers and family members have become more open about this disease as it affects a family member or close friend. They are willing to share and to seek information. More resources have become available.
Why write? I think my next poll will ask some questions on this topic. So be thinking about it and vote, as well as leaving comments.

My Dad has Alzheimer’s and it helps me so much to write my daily blog about my experiences caring for him.
Maybe someday I’ll write a book.

I agree, Kathy, blogging is a good way to write about your experiences. You can have a private blog journal or post it for others to read and receive encouragement. Your blog is a great one because you find humor and give encouragement through it. And I do encourage you to keep your dream of compiling a book of your posts.
