The value of Dr.Tam Cummings information should not be underestimated. I share your name, UA-cam and website with anyone who ask or I think would be interested. This one has helped me not only information wise but has inspirational. Thank you so very very much.
I just love these podcasts. My husband has mixed dementia with mainly Lewy Body. He is late stage 6 in MC. He recently has started spitting on the floor, on himself, on the table, wherever due to high saliva. I never realized it was a symptom of LBD. I spoke with the nurses at MC to have this evaluated by the nurse practitioner and they will see what meds might help. I'm glad to know it's a symptom and not just another bad behavior! Thanks so much!
I wish I would have found this sooner and would love to know how to participate in real time. Not sure what next best steps are for mom as we think she's in stage 6 and not sure what direction to go.
Look into VITAS Hospice; their website should have a list of questions that help you determine if someone is ready for hospice care. If your loved one is already bedbound, that is a very strong indicator that they need to have that extra level of medical care.
My husband has both VD and Lewy-body. He is now enrolled in home based hospice. I am his sole caregiver, with no family participation. After listening to the current session, I guess he's in stage 5. I can keep us going as long as I have someone to brainstorm w me for solutions and recognize the daily grief that threatens my wellbeing. My therapist tries to help; I had to tell him yesterday that the positive reframing isn't working for me right now, I know how to do that really well. We have our faith as well that I lean on. Right now I need somehow to address the grief not of his dementia, I've being living with that a long time, and accept this is the end for us, but the abandonment of family. I'm having a really hard time letting go of them so I can stop looking to them for help. I never imagined being alone with this and consequently know my future will also be alone. I'm terrified of that.im grieving my own demise. I've never heard anyone talk abt this. Thank you for you time.
