Washington

[Guest guest]

How will we know each other? Ought we circulate mug shots or descriptions

(WANTED:....) I am short and dumpy, have grey hair which is more salt than

pepper and always wear black. If attends the sessions with me, he's

about 5'10 " and very handsome, so much more noticeable. He has even greyer

hair, wears rimless glasses and just looks incredibly English.

Also, I'll be wearing a ribbon with polka dots - watch this space for the

colour!

Cheers,

> You will probably do what most of us here have done and that is to educate MDs

who want to say " all dementia is the same. " This is not true.

> LBD if treated with the wrong meds can be fatal. Following my name, you should

be able to click on the LBDA site. You will find a lot of info to help you. The

brochure is there and APPROVED by the MDs who understand LBD. If you would like

several copies of the brochure, let me know and send me personally your address

and I will be happy to mail you some brochures.

> The page you are going to is about to be updated and I have had the fortune to

play on the test page and everyone here will love it. I think! I did. Everything

is easy to find. Peg has been hard at work getting it updated. ( I think she

will have it up and running in the next couple of weeks.)

> There is a book there that has just come out that you may want to recommend

that your MD purchase. It is written by MDs. And it is all about LBD.

> Hope this helps.
