This week, Sara returns to help us talk about the many terms you may hear that relate to some aspect of Lewy Body Dementia. When you listen, you will hear the technical definition of the terms and then hear examples from personal experiences which helps us have a better understanding for each terms discussed. There were so many terms many of you sent me to discuss that we needed to break her recording into 2 parts. This is definitely our most educational episode and one you won't want to miss and hear.

He shares how he felt during the process and why he wanted to share with our listeners and members of our Facebook pages.

"I would hate to have left Linda to decide all that in a day or two," Curry confesses, his voice carrying the weight of nine years living with LBD. During a recent period when his symptoms have intensified—increased confusion, slurred speech, and devastating sleep disruptions—he still prioritized this difficult task. The contrast is striking: even as Curry struggles with Lewy's daily challenges, he's thinking ahead to ease his wife's future burden.

This week, it's just Podcast Linda and Curry with a fireside chat. Curry's Lewy symptoms have been pretty bad the last three weeks or so and he wanted to share. We discuss how he has gone over 34 hours without sleep , internal tremors and scary hallucinations.  As always, Curry tries to be as strong as he can be and wants to "ride it out" as he shares he has done many times before. It is just amazing how this disease truly has so many ups and downs and that no two people with LBD have same symptoms

Thank you all for your continued support and patience with us as we try really hard to get a new podcast done- hoping we get one a week but as you all know, Lewy and life sometimes get in the way. We know you all understand and support us anyway and for that we thank you!!! xoxo

Remember...We are doing this for all of us and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Curry's hallucinations have come back but he explains this has happened before and he was overstimulated with many visitors over the last 2-3 weeks so that is one factor that triggered his hallucinations.  One thing he unfortunately got to see that was NOT a hallucination  was the alien trying to come out of Podcast Linda's stomach. Quite a tale we have to share on that crazy yet scary experience.

When you listen, you will hear the technical definition of the terms and then hear examples from personal experiences which helps us have a better understanding for each terms discussed. There were so many terms many of you sent me to discuss that we needed to break her recording into 2 parts. This is definitely our most educational episode and one you won't want to miss and hear.

This week Tedde shares her journey caring for her brother who has Lewy Body Dementia. We know caregiving takes on many faces and you will feel the  love she has for her brother as she cares for his needs. Many good suggestions are shared.
We always say it is different caring for a spouse versus a parent or sibling with dementia but by all of us sharing... we can help each other be the best caregivers we can be.

Welcome back Susan Lavoice. Susan was on very early in the start of this podcast and she was struggling to get a diagnosis and meds to help symptoms. It is amazing how well she is doing now since she has medicines to help her symptoms. Please listen so you understand that there is hope and more life left after a diagnosis of LBD as you will hear from Susan and Curry.
We always tell Susan she is like a different person now and so full of life and hope.

We hope by each of our guests sharing their stories that we can help those seeking a diagnosis find one sooner as we need the medical fields to listen to these stories and know that it is unacceptable for anyone to have to fight for a diagnosis or for it to take years to get a proper diagnosis..

This week is to part two of Lewy terms as Sara returns to help us talk about the many terms you may hear that relate to some aspect of Lewy Body Dementia. When you listen, you will hear the technical definition of the terms and then hear examples from personal experiences which helps us have a better understanding for each terms discussed. There were so many terms many of you sent me to discuss that we needed to break her recording into 2 parts. This is definitely our most educational episode and one you won't want to miss and hear.

]]> Welcome Nancy this week. She shares with us her journey and long road to get a diagnosis after being told nothing was wrong only to be told that her husband has Lewy Body Dementia. She will share with us how she was an advocate for her husband which everyone  with LBD needs. Be that squeaky wheel and don't let doctors tell you nothing is wrong when you know there is. Join our support group meets each week -Monday and Friday at 11:30 est. and you will meet others on this journey and see there is hope after diagnosis as Curry always says and you will meet many people with LBD and their caregivers. You are not alone on this journey.

Phyllis Banks came back to share with us her experience with each as she cared for her husband Bob who had LBD and has since passed. These two types of care can be very confusing and even after we recorded, we learned more. For me in NJ, I did not have to get his primary dr. to recommend. I just made a call and said Jim has LBD. We also learned each state may be different so make those calls ya'll.
LBD diagnosis qualifies for palliative care. Be that squeaky wheel for your loved one or for yourself.

She is a leading educator in the field of dementia education and we are sure all of you have heard of her and even watched her videos. She shares with us responses to questions some of ya'll sent to us to ask her including...how to help your loved one understand he/she has Lewy Body when he/she is in denial, how to respond to a loved one who continually asks to go home when they are home and finally, how do you keep your patience with your loved one as their caregiver.

We also decided to leave a few of our hiccups in this episode that we encountered during recording. Sometimes it is a lot of "fun" doing our recordings and we could literally create a bloopers episode for you all but thought this week, we would keep a little of our hiccups in to share  and confirm what we always say..we are not experts at this podcasting thing but we appreciate you all being so kind and supportive.
