I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for sharing a heartbreaking reality. I am torn between actually facing the reality and continuing to disguise the issue for my husbands reality. He does not want to know what is wrong.
First your completion is flawless and you are a beautiful person .My husband who has Dementia is dealing with frontal sinus infection and needs surgery to release pressure in his forehead .I would appreciate any advice for me to turn to
Angela, my heart goes out to you. I am alone too. I know how vulnerable it feels. Maybe it will help to join the Facebook support group. Sending love and concern to you. ❤

The more I research this the more awareness is needed as caregivers are being reported to elder abuse if police get involved, automatically loving caregiver gets wrongly blamed and shamed.
A comment she said her late wife had what was multiple TIAs which were actually the proteins doubling. Wow, my husband has had many many tias. Some I believe were but some were different and since he had stroke n tias in history, we were told it was TIA. I now believe it was lest body!

We need serious research with this and treatment! We CAN'T let go, we can't ignore this any longer! We absolutely have to find treatments for this.

Thank you both for sharing this ,im going to study up on it.

Interesting I had none of these full on symptoms. Mine was merely found per MRI, Pet scan.
My father has Lewy Body Dementia, does that make it possible for me to get it as well?
Thank you. I am alone and think I have this.
Hi Angela, I'm so sorry to hear that. I would recommend talking with your physician as soon as possible.

8:53 So it's more common to have mixed dementia? Good god.

Very informative and empowering/reassuring. I viewed Ms. Johnson-Young's websites and found a wealth of resources there as well. Thank you very much.
So glad it was helpful for you, thanks for the feedback! Yes, Jill is a wealth of information.
So on this channel, LBD is the most common. On other channels LBD is a rare type of dementia.
