The diagnosis satisfies no one. This is how you fight back.
You heard the words no one is ready to hear. Alzheimer's. Maybe it was delivered coldly in a ten-minute appointment, maybe over a phone call that changed everything. Now you are sitting in a parking lot, or at a kitchen table, or staring at a screen full of search results, wondering: What do I do? Where do I go? Who will help me? The healthcare system offers no roadmap. The doctors move on to the next patient. And the clock is ticking.
In ALZ Fired Up!, Sean Terwilliger refuses to accept the script. Diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease at sixty, he transforms from a self-described introvert and wallflower into a relentless advocate for his own survival. Over two years, he battles insurance bureaucracies, pursues disease-modifying treatments and clinical trials, explores light therapy, sound therapy, supplements, and exercise, and documents every hard-won lesson for those coming behind him. With warmth, wit, and an unflinching honesty that his wife, Wendy, calls pure magic, Sean proves that a diagnosis does not have to define your legacy. What defines you is how you choose to live.
Inside you will find:
- A practical, firsthand guide to navigating the broken healthcare system as a patient or caregiver
- Honest exploration of treatments both medicinal and non-medicinal, from newly approved disease modifying drugs, to brain stimulation
- A powerful reminder that living with joy and purpose and not waiting to die is always a choice you get to make.
