HI ,

I live in Toronto and do know that the AD Society here in Toronto has a lot of

resources that you might want to tap into. Also, has your mom been signed up

with CCAC?

Thank you for your suggestions. If there is anybody in the Toronto,

Canada area I would be interested to hear from them re organizations which

provide volunteer care and those that have had experience with alarms used to

notify when a patient leaves the bed.

Thanks and Hugs,

Hi,

My name is Joney and my husband Calvin has LBD. He is 63 and has been

diagnosed less than a year. Most of our doctors assumed that he had

Parkinson's disease until last April. We made a temporary move into my

daughter's home and he began to have serious delusions and hallucinations.

We got a new doctor at that point and he was able to diagnose the LBD and

change his medicine from Mirapex to Senemet. He also takes Seroquel and a

medicine that helps him sleep.

My biggest hurdle is adjusting to the symptoms of the disease. From all I

am reading at this site he is doing very well, but the fact remains that he

has LBD. The LBD web site has been a God send for me. It has helped me

undersand my husband more. There are so many facets to his behavior changes

that I was blaming on " stuborness " or willfulness that I now realize are

symptoms of the disease. That has helped alot.

I just read the article about depression among caregivers and I realized

that I have some of the symptoms of depression. I hate that most of all. I

have always considered myself optimistic and full of faith. I depend on my

faith in God for everything. Depression seems so self indulgent. I don't

have the disease - he does. But the web-site and the messages are helping.

Thanks for being there for all of us.

Sincerely, Joney

Joney,

Welcome. I am out of the cg phase. It has been 5 years since Mom died. I had

her with me for 3 years and one year in a nh. You are still optimistic and full

of faith, and depressed! You can be all those things. But I so recognized the

" is Mom (your husband) just being stubborn. " He isn't! He is also struggling.

They seem to know something is going on and can't figure out what it is and how

they can cope.

I hope we can give you a pat on the back when you need it. He is so young to

have this disease. And your goal is how to best help him live the rest of his

life. We have lots who can share because they are going through it too, or have

been through it.

A warm welcome, Joney. You have found the right place and right people.

Everyone here

is very kind and understanding. We lean on each other for moral support, and

to learn from each other in every way we can. We tell our stories so that

others can benefit from it. We are also training many people in the Medical

Field. We are there just like you, so we know about depression. I, too, have

always been a happy optimistic person, and also stay close to God, but now I am

having to take Zoloft.

For one thing we get cabin fever from being in doors so much with our health

problems. And, the stress of having to take over all the husband's jobs

around the house, as well as keep up with medications, Doctor Appointments, pay

bills, and juggle a hundred and one things while caring for our beloved mates.

I sure wouldn't do this for pay. But, gladly for love.

Once again, a big warm welcome,

Imogene

Caregiver for my true Texas Gentleman Husband of 37 years. He has LBD with

Parkinsonism.

[Guest guest]

Joney: Welcome to the board where you will get lots

of information and many listening ears, some advice,

and a place to vent your frustrations and share the

good times, although probably rare.

I was interested in the medicines you said he was

taking and noted that you didn't say anything about

Aricept/Excelon/Namenda being used. Since his dx is

fairly new, I would think that the doctor would

definitely prescribe either one of the first two and

then Namenda to be taken with that one. There have

been many who have had great success with these drug

combinations. My husband was on Aricept from 1999

through 2006 - after 3-4 years, it doesn't help as

much, but they don't lose ground as they might if it

is discontinued. Although many with LBD do use

Seroquel, it's one that isn't as good for LBD, but

also one that is better tolerated if it is needed.

What sleeping aid is he on? Some of those can be not

so good, either. Some report that the use of Senemet

worsens hallucinations. It's a fine line as to what

some can take with good results and others cannot.

If no one has suggested it yet, there is a list of

good/bad meds on the site (click Files and it will

take you to the documents). It might be good to share

some of them with your doctor, too.

I also thought my husband was just being stubborn many

times just because I didn't know what this disease did

to its victims. After lots of research and reading

the posts, it became clear that it is a part of the

disease and that they can't control that.

Again, glad you found a spot and hopefully you'll get

lots of benefit from it.

June (husband Darrell dx'd AD 1999; possible LBD 2006;

died Nov. 2006; autopsy results - both AD and LBD.

Hi, Imogene

My name is Dimpsy. Thank you for the welcome to the group. Not sure if she has

LBD, that's very interesting didn't know until your group that there was more

than one kind of Dementia. She dosen't have hallunications. I have had

patients that do. I have only been told she has early onset. I have had

patients that were combative. My biggest challenge at this time is getting her

to take a shower.

Re: (unknown)

Welcome dear, what is your name, so that I can acknowledge you when you

write?

I am glad you found us. And, I hope you learn as much as everyone else

knows, but not me. I know my own experiences which is not very progresses.

But, I hope you feel as good about this List as I do. So kind, so helpful,

and so knowledgeable.

I well remember when I started using the computer. I type with just a few

fingers, and am slow, but in time I have written a 360 page book for my family.

So, do I love the computer or what? Anyway,

you will be right at home on it, and many will be glad to help you.

They will really help you with Lewy Body Dementia. Does your patient have

LBD? Does s/he have hallucinations where they see people and animals although

they aren't there? That is an early sign of LBD. These patients can and do

sometimes become highly agitated, through no fault of their own. Some have been

known to become violent.

So keep reading and asking questions. And, once again a big warm welcome,

off this site. When she gets back I am sure you will hear from her and you can

sign up and go in any other night. We just have the Monday chat as an organized

Dimpsy,

If she has LBD, she may be afraid of the shower and you need to go slower. Let

her know she will have a shower " later,' and then ask if she would like to do it

before or after breakfast? They need time to think about it usually. Then go

slow. You can't hurry them or they get more scared.

Hope this help.

Sounds like exercise induced asthma. I get out of breath in this cold air when I walk hard and fast. The cold air is kicking my butt but I'm dealing with it the best I can. If you use a nebulizer or inhaler, try using one or the other a few minutes before you walk. To: asthma Sent: Fri, December 10, 2010 12:46:49 PMSubject: (unknown)

BEWARE:

NON-alcohol drinkers will be out during the

holiday! Please take care of yourself.

A recent joint study conducted by the

Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates

that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related.

This means that the remaining 77% are

caused by dingbats who just drink water, coffee, carbonated drinks,

juices, power drinks, and crap like that.

Therefore, beware of those who do not drink

alcohol. They cause three times as many accidents!

[Guest guest]

Hi Irene,I have vocal cord dysfunction. What you are describing sure sounds like a vcd flare. The vcd/asthma connection can be very hard to treat. First a vcd flare can cause an asthma flare and vice versa, and vcd does not respond to albuterol. VCD does respond well to nebulized lidocaine and some time the epinephrin may help. You should make an appointment with an ENT for diagnosis and follow with a speech pathologist for education and treatment.MadelineTo: asthma Sent: Thu, February 3, 2011 12:31:42 AMSubject: (unknown)

Have you considered food allergies?  If not, check into it.  I can recommend resources to help you, but a constant feeling of throat swelling smacks of food allergies to me.  I don't know why doctors don't bring this up. >:-(  I get angry with doctors!!

 

Let me know if you are interested in persuing it, and I can send you some links and book recommendations.

I find that my throat feeling tight is one of my most common symptoms. I don't think it's allergy related, as it'll do it when I've not eaten (or long enough ago for it to not be an issue), or eaten something I've eaten plenty, and since with no side effects.JennTha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...!

My peak flows dropped overnight again....so I guess Im going to get an appt today and get seen again. I think I need a little more help getting on top of this crud. The one good thing is that I can sleep at night....but the early morning is rough.I need to get on top of this. Ann

Ok...I need to whine a little. I cant stop coughing. My peak flows are fine yet I have no energy. Im off the prednisone...didnt even feel like a giant walking bruise so much as I have in the past. My nose is running so much I want to hook up suction to it. I dont have any signs or symptoms of a cold other than this incessant cough and running nose...which is clear so that more or less indicates allergy vs infection. I "FEEL" congested in my chest....but theres nothing there to bring up or its settling. Its really affecting my ability to study....wah.Ann

Yep you need to get the crud taken care of. My peak flows are back up but I'm still coughing. It's one of those things I deal with when the pollen is bad. To: asthma Sent: Fri, May 6, 2011 6:04:36 AMSubject: Re: (unknown)

Sorry that you are having to go back to ER, but whatever it takes to get you back on your feet. I am having a hard time for this time of year. Wish I had kept a daily journal. Good Luck Madeline. Let us know how you are doing. Good Breathing...

I've felt the last week or so like I've got tonnes of mucus in my throat. I think it could be the weather. It was overcast and really humid this morning, and I could feel my chest was tight driving into work. Though luckily the sun came out, so I was fine later onJennTha can tek t'lass outta Yorkshire...! Don't brand me, don't classify me, don't tell me what to wear. I'll be who I want to be, and I'm proud to be me.Subject: Re: (unknown)To: asthma Date: Friday, 6 May, 2011, 15:46

My chest has also been tight past 2 days. Weather has changed from hot to

cooler, and back, so quickly it has been hard to deal with, plus the wind is

blowing all sorts of stuff around.
