I just did a search and there are more than 100 support groups on Yahoo Group boards in their Health and Wellness section. From Picks Disease, to LBD, Dementia in general. Here are the top 10 that has the most members:

Letter to the Editor: Updated
I wish I had supplied you with links when I first sent the letter - my apologies. Here are links to the Top 10 online support groups that were listed (Top 10 meaning the groups with the most members.) I copy/pasted the 'join' link for LBDCaregivers -- assuming that the rest just needs the name of the group to be changed...

The Memory Wall
I read your articles religiously as my 40-year-old husband was diagnosed 4 years ago. You had run a clip recently about The Leeza Gibbons Foundation teaming up with State Farm Insurance to build a "Memory Wall". It will be touring for one year and at each stop, anyone can write out a tribute to a loved one who has been affected by Alzheimer's disease

The Problems with Alzheimer's: Plaques, Tangles and Bush's Budget
Letters to the Editor
Hundreds turned out for the Alzheimer's Association's annual Memory Walk in Palm Springs, California, on the sunny first Saturday in February. The Walk's organizers now estimate that they raised well above their $50,000 goal. The Alzheimer's Association deserves a big round of applause for its staff's tireless efforts to help those with dementia and their care partners.

She danced, clapped, sang every word to the old hymns, and just smiled. As soon as the music would start, her shoulders would start moving, hands clapping, and just singing her heart out.

Participating in Clinical Trials
One of your subscribers told me she heard about our research study through your publication online. Thank you!
As a result, I am currently visiting St. Louis from Philadelphia to do neuropsychological assessments on this subscriber and four of her friends. Three of them will receive neurofeedback equipment for home training. The others will be in a waiting list control group, and will receive treatment after a second assessment in August.

Early Detection Can Delay Onset of Alzheimer's Disease
This is a very good article with much-needed information. But the problem is that it only deals with one, yes "ONE" symptom of Alzheimer's disease.
