    I was given the “Tests” failed. Then 2 MRI tests, second MRI showed hydrocephalus I had been dealing with for over thirty years. Had brain surgery it totally changed the direction of my life. I am well now no more dementia symptoms and I give God all the Glory

    I'm doing my Master in Neuroscience and I'm working in a Lab that works on Neuroimaging of Aging.
    This woman is absolutely awesome, the way she talks about Dementia make you understand that she's a professional, prepared on the subject. Listening to her talking make you understand that she knows what she's talking about because she lived directly in contact with these people. And I feel like to say that I really would like to work with her because she's the kind of person who really care about elderly people and because like her I would like to help them in every possible way, that's what I want to do after my studies.

    I thought my husband was having early signs of dementia because he was in a second car accident in 3 years and this time did not see a car hauler coming from the left on a sunny day. He is a stroke survivor and has Parkinsons so it was natural for me to have that concern. DOT suspended his license until he could pass a medical exam. His PCP passed him and his optometrist flunked him after 2 tries. He has absolutely no peripheral vision to the left. He had recovered it after several years after his stroke and was able to drive again 11 years and now it's gone. In addition to be very hard of hearing, thank you Vietnam, the vision loss and the delayed processing of Parkinsons if you pressure him gives the impression of dementia. The vision loss explains so many things, he does not know I am there. Seeing a new neurologist next week. Will have lots to talk about. I could write a book.

    I have pretty bad Alzheimer’s on both sides of my family. Both of my dads parents had it worse and they managed to take care of each other but they declined very quickly. They passed together just four days apart and I know they did not remember much of anything but each other. All I know is that they were happy. I really want to go into dementia related research to help more people especially since this issue is so prevalent.

    My mother was always firing me. She would say, "The girl who pays the bills, please thank her and tell her we won't be needing her anymore." Or she would tell me to fire the girl who took care of her at night. She would never give me the reason. "I don't want to hurt her feelings," she would say.
    I took care of her for seven years. I didn't go out much and always assumed that after she passed I would resume a more active life. But it didn't happen. I wasn't the same anymore. When I went out I would feel overwhelmed, desolate and out of place. If someone upset me I would go into a screaming rage. So I stay home with my cats, where I cook and clean, watch youtube videos and Netflix. I tend the garden, giving special care to her lemon tree , and treasure the good years we had.

    • @ucanleaveyourhaton
      @ucanleaveyourhaton 3 года назад +7

      Patricia Reilly , It’s sad to hear your story. All I know is that caregivers are very vulnerable people who suffer from all kinds of health conditions as a result of the relentless work they do. And after their loved one passes away, they are left with the residual stress of extreme exhaustion as well as psychological issues such as PTSD. Please don’t shut yourself away all of the time. Find a support group for carers in your area, or for people caring/grieving for relatives with Dementia. I’m sure they will help you, even tho your mum has passed away. They understand and they won’t make you feel out of place. I can help you find an organisation to contact, if you’re not feeling motivated. I’m Leonie Cent and I’m on face book.

      Yes, same! I was surprised by my inability to bounce back after years of caring for my mom with the last year doing double duty giving her 24/7 care in my house and working full time as a teacher online during Covid19.
      Six months ago, I finally got medicaid to take her case and got her placed in a dementia -focused adult family home.
      There was a period of grieving and guilt which I guess I’m still not past yet. I’m also stressing about how I can set myself up so as not to place caregiving on my daughter, should I also get dementia.
      It surprises me that I truly have no desire to be around others any more than I have too. Anyway, right there with you and hope you’re doing well.

      We have developed comprehensive training programs (outside of US) That have a focus on dementia (in its many states and forms ). UFIRST , PIECES concepts ? Developed in Canada (where I am) the problem has nothing to do with availability of program it has EVERYTHING to do with the "Prime Minister " and government not implementing regulation of PSW'S . If it was regulated you can bet this would be part of the curriculum . Besides those factors we do learn GPA as part of my school's curriculum . The confusion lies in HCA's who go through 2-4 weeks of training then show up in LTC'F's and have no anatomical, physiological or pathological understanding of the root causes of disease . Not to mention how to work with people who have dementia not dementia patients .

    Very helpful video. My mother (72) has just been diagnosed with dementia by her primary care physician and will be seeing a specialist soon for further evaluation. I am confident this doctor will confirm the dementia diagnosis so it's a question now of determining what form of dementia she has, how advanced it is, and finding out what - if anything - can be done treatment-wise. For the last several years, my mother has also been battling depression and alcohol abuse/addiction. It's strange that all three of these issues - depression, dementia, and dependency - seem to hit her around the same time, which would be around age 65 or so. Before that, my mother had been a feisty, active, very "with it" woman who, although she used alcohol, was very rarely intoxicated (maybe once a year, if that). Recently, however, she's been falling, injuring herself, despondent, admitted to a psychiatric ward, extremely forgetful, very easily confused and/or scared, angry, resentful, etc., etc. I'm expecting a long, difficult road ahead and all information, such as that presented in this video, is appreciated.

      I was disappointed that the word she used the most is a word that I used the most b/4 I became a Christian. I have a very large family and not one of us use that word. I don't believe that we'd "pick up" that word if we had to care for a loved one with dementia. I found her very likable, but it does make me wonder why it needed to be used so often. Shock value, maybe?

    Thank you for doing this video. My response is way too long.
    After my mother had a stroke life became really tough, I was her main caregiver. She could be quite mean to me and I didn't understand why. Now, I know that she also had dementia way before I realized it.
    One day she got angry that I wasn't ready to go to the store, I didn't even know we were going to the store. I was doing some of her yard work. When I told her I'd get changed, she got angry and left without me. We always went to the store together even if she drove.
    But when she returned she was upset, maybe scared. I believe now that she didn't know where she was or something like that because she didn't normally go to this particular store. I believe she couldn't figure out where she was for a little bit. But as it continued she would say really cruel things and adding to the stress was that I had my own illness and had been given 18 months. Fortunately I overcame.
    I didn't want to upset her by telling her. Now I wish I had told her to see if she understood.
    Because she wouldn't let me go outside after 8 p.m. and I am a gardener, I decided to get a dog. I knew she had an MRI so I took my dog home got showered came back and she had one of those meltdowns because she thought I went to have surgery on myself. I was baffled. She was so upset with me and I had been in such a good mood.she demanded the code to her appointment right then even though we would be an hour and a half early. She wouldn't use a wheelchair so that also made it tough because she couldn't walk well.
    But even before that she said one of the oddest things to me. I was molested by my uncle (mom's sister's husband). It ruined my life but we never talked about it until a week before her 80th birthday when she suddenly said that she didn't know that it was illegal for my uncle to touch me!
    Maybe after all the years that she heard me say, if anyone ever touched my child they'd be praying for the police to rescue them from me" or Perhaps the dementia had started then but it shocked me so much that I told her I didn't want to talk about it. I felt that if she had that attitude then she wouldn't understand mine.

      Pernell13489 , It sounds like you had an awful time with your mum. Relationships with parents can be hard enough, without them having dementia ! I know I had some very frustrating times with my father. What your mum said about your uncle molesting you, sounds like a very weird thing to say. Maybe she was trying to absolve herself of any responsibility in some way, but not realising it. It must have made you feel real mad. Once with my dad, I got so mad with him and I had a meltdown right there and then. But he just zoned out which made it worse. I hope things get better for you. Good luck 👍

    You are absolutely amazing! I love your talks! I have a lot of medication and health issues and I am quite worried about my brain just because I’ve been knocked out a few times in various ways and I’ve been having trouble with balance, memory etc 🤣😳 but you really are wonderful at teaching this in a way that people can relate to and ideas that we can hold on to. (And I’m not great at that!) Especially the umbrella term! It’s like IBS in a weird way. Humour is so important to help curb some of that fear. ! Anyway, thank you! We all might need this one day. It’s so hard to tell what’s going on if you have other things happening at the same time. Thank you 😊 ❤️

      *So sad, but anyone who has looked after a loved one with dementia will know how hard it is physically and mentally. My heart goes out to anyone/everyone affected by Alzheimer/Dementia. A huge shout out to any caregiver doing this alone! I feel your journey. I feel your pain because I've been there. My mom was also diagnosed in her 60s. Feeling absolutely shattered, heartbroken and drained , working with different physicians across the country, used Donepezil and other drugs, with little or no improvement. I was exhausted and overwhelmed to look any further. Crying a lot through frustration, anger and despair, But today with the help of Homeocure Worldwide Natural Medicine, my mother is completely healthy and well again. I think we only need more support and sunlight to overcome this dreadful disease. Search for support regardless and don't stop until you get it. With Homeocure Worldwide treatment, there is hope, don't give up! Check out this blog for useful info️; **homeocureworldwide.blogspot.com**, Be it any condition, natural treatment and a healthy diet is a road to fast recovery.*

    beautifully presented, the way she talks if studying science has taught me 2 things it is to do my research and intuitively feel an expert. she is one i d bet money on that
    and the way she talks to the old people. she is close to them, not taking them from a distance with cold respect but using just the right amount of infantilisation, which i ve found is an incredibly powerful teaching tool. she doesn't treat them like kids- that would be just disrespectul- she goes to their level, makes sure to repeat or be very clear about the message to make sure its gotten accross all the while poking them making a bit fun of them etc, all valuable tools when used in right proportions to create a real link with the audience.
    i m a physicist i love hearing an expert lecture theoretical stuff etc but hate it when you feel he s talking down to you or talking like you're a child. but i came to realise that that expert NEEDS to talk to non physicists as though they were children if he's explaining a physics things, cause in that situation they are. but if he just does that it comes down as condensending, she avoids that trap
