(((Cindy Weinstein)))in honor of the first #LewyBodyDementia Day, here are the #LewyBody entries -- with short definitions to help readers, #caregivers, and people with #dementia, understand the #disease and the words used by #doctors and #neurologists to describe it, from the rather unorthodox glossary from my memoir, written with #Dr.BruceMiller.
Today is the first #WorldLewyBodyDay, a #brain disease that affects of 1 million people in the US. Here is #UCSF's #MAC (Memory and Aging Center) brief explainer of #LewyBody #Dementia. The extraordinary #RobinWilliams suffered from this disease.

Poetry NewsPET scans can detect the heart of a man
To see who is at increased risk for a plan
Of Parkinson's or Lewy body disease
That may bring about a great deal of unease
So when symptoms arise don't just ignore
Listen to your heart and you'll stay secure

mem_somervilleI stumbled upon a #documentary with the new BPL subscription for Biblio+. It's mostly about Robin Williams' couple of years before the end. Before they knew what it was....
Remarkable story. I had no idea what it had been like. I think it might help people to see what #LewyBody #Dementia is about. No doubt there are families mystified right this minute about someone's behavior....
Film wasn't easy, but it was well done, not exploitative.
Reposting this in honor of my dad, #WorldAlzheimersMonth, and #FTDAwarenessWeek. Sending strength to everyone facing #dementia and their #caregivers
Must-read essay on the financial costs of #dementia, in this case #LewyBody #dementia, and the utter cruelty and absurdity of #Medicare defining #dementia like this: “We don’t consider dementia a medical issue." Tell that to the person suffering with the #disease; tell that to the caregiver.
