		<title>Is There a Link Between Lyme and Alzheimer’s?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a really bad run in with Lyme Disease and am still having some issues that are probably a result of some sort of Post Lyme Syndrome. (Vitamin D level of 13 despite taking multivitamins and gardening=major pain.) Anyway, because of the Lyme, I decided to watch Under Our Skin, a film by Andy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas Gifts for Alzheimer’s Patients</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It can be tough to choose the right gifts for anyone. However, finding Christmas presents for people with Alzheimer&#8217;s is really a challenge. When you are searching for gifts for your loved one, keep a few things in mind:

Simple is best. Don&#8217;t look for new high tech gadgets that they won&#8217;t be able to use. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have an American Express card, please vote for the Alzheimer Association project, which is looking for funding for early diagnosis. It is really exciting to see that the Alzheimer&#8217;s project made it into the top 25, but now we need to win the funding! If you don&#8217;t have a card and you know [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Hidden Cost of Alzheimer’s – Relationships</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a request to talk about another hidden cost of Alzheimer&#8217;s &#8211; relationships. If you have opted to take on the care for a relative with Alzheimer&#8217;s at home, you probably hear a lot of positive comments.
&#8220;Good for you.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m so glad to hear that people still care about their parents.&#8221;

		<title>A Letter From the Alzheimer’s Association</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received this letter from the Alzheimer&#8217;s Association. They encouraged me to send it on to my friends and family and I thought posting it on the blog would reach more people:
