On this day last day of the year, I remember the passing of my dad, a year ago, he did not get to see the dumpster fire that was 2025.
He suffered of #LewyBodies (Dementia) and we got lucky he still remembered us till the last days.

Thank you, dear reader, for this incredibly kind review of #FindingtheRightWords, the #memoir I wrote with #neurologist, #Dr.BruceMiller. #Dementia doesn't take a break for the holidays, which means #caregivers don't get a break either. Sending strength to those of you who are living with #Alzheimer's, caring for someone with it or another form of dementia (#FTD, #CTE, #vascular, #LewyBodies, #early-onset, #Creutzfelt-Jakob, and others), and/or loving someone with #dementia.

2020: 7 million in the US w/#dementia
2040: estimate of ~12 million in the US w/dementia

Dementia is the umbrella term. The "other diseases" include #FTD (FrontoTemporalDementia), #CTE (repeated concussions), #VascularDementia, #LewyBodies, Creutzfeldt-Jakob, #Alzheimer's, #early-onset Alzheimer's & more.

Let's revisit (& pass) #Biden's plan to support financially #caregivers, who often die before the person w/dementia for whom they are caring. Then what?

The dementia crisis is here. Better training can’t wait.

As more and more elderly Americans with dementia reside in assisted-living homes, states need to make sure they receive high-quality care.

@DrPsyBuffy it is definitely unfortunate that #lewybodies can only be confirmed by autopsy #LomgCovid

RT by @physorg_com: Researchers identify three #intestinalbacteria found in dementia with #Lewybodies @NagoyaUniv_info https://www.nature.com/articles/s41531-022-00428-2 https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-03-intestinal-bacteria-dementia-lewy-bodies.html

Researchers identify three intestinal bacteria found in dementia with Lewy bodies

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), one of the most common forms of dementia, has no cure. Previous studies suggested that gut bacteria, the microorganisms that live in the human digestive tract, play a role in Parkinson's disease, another neurodegenerative disorder, but the bacteria involved in DLB had not been identified. Now, a group led by researchers at the Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan has identified three bacteria involved in DLB—Collinsella, Ruminococcus, and Bifidobacterium. Their findings, reported in npj Parkinson's Disease, suggest new avenues for diagnosis and treatment.

Cindy, mentioned in my earlier post linked to this event which looks to be 12hrs online on Dec 2nd on topic of #Alheimers
Note: It seems to be in UK

I'm having a little bit of trouble getting a copy of her link to send to you because I'm on a different Mastodon server from both of you & I'm still very new to navigating the system. Maybe an experienced #Mastodon #Elder can help to get you there

Please let me know if it works because I'm heartsick over getting help connection to you

Here's a copy & paste of info I saw from her post on Mastodon

I had trouble getting across to you because of different server instances & it glitching when I tried to connect connect you two
