My husband was diagnosed with probable alzheimer's disease on 19th December, all we got from the neurologist was, 'have a Merry Christmas and get your affairs in order' and 'we can't give you any medications'. We are currently in the UK, but moving to Florida in January, as my husnand is a US veteran.
Teepa, My husband was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia. I would love to have you share what you can about this. For years we were told it was complex PTSD. Finally after many tests and Dr visits, we were sent to a neurologist who could land the plane for us. I am a nurse and have worked with dementia patients in the past. Living it has been eye opening for myself and our family. While this is not straight up Alzheimers, it definitely is in the realm. Thanks.
I truly emphatize with you Dawn, you have been through a lot as well and now seeing your daughter progress with her FTD, I mean I can't imagine myself going through this. Her son is so blessed to have you and all the other people who's trying to help. That's what's important I guess, having good support network and thanks to Teepa, we can find answers on how to address these challenges associated with dementia. Looking forward to watch Part 2.
I don't know how some people get through such multiple tragedies.Dawn, bless your heart love.. I've had multiple traumas in my life. I am battling dementia from Parkinson's and have always been the strong one in my family. Now I worry how will I get through this!
Guests were enlightening, but Teepa’s facial expressions and movements are distracting from the guest!
so sad
