'My early-onset dementia diary'

Never think of it as the end, because there is so much you can do

It was just a typical day in September 2012 when Wendy Mitchell started to feel fuzzy headed and collapsed whilst running. She took herself to the doctors, who dismissed the incident as old age, little did she know that was the start of early-onset dementia.

I hate quiet weeks when there's nothing on my calendar, because I know dementia is going to win

Now, three years since her diagnosis, Wendy’s life has changed beyond imagination, but she remains positive about her condition and has just released her book ‘Somebody I used to know’ - in the hope of spreading the message and wiping away the stigma that comes with dementia.
