• Lewy Buddy Meet-up Part 3
    Oct 16 2024

    Welcome back Podcast Family!
    This week we are sharing part three where some of those who were able to attend the Lewy Buddy Meet-Up in Caney Kansas on September 14, 2024 share how they felt meeting people they have only seen on zoom. For some, it was the first time they meet another person with Lewy Body Dementia in person. I know you will hear the Lewy Love shared by those who attended in Kansas. This needs to be in three parts because we recorded our first zoom meeting after the event and we wanted to give each person the opportunity to share how the meet-up made them feel- so very powerful!

    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.

  • Jackie's Story: From Routine Procedure to Cognitive Crisis
    Jun 10 2024

    Have you ever wondered about the hidden cognitive risks tied to everyday medical procedures? Listen to our latest episode featuring Jackie Babcock-Brown, who shares her powerful journey with Lewy Body Dementia. Diagnosed at just 55, Jackie recounts how a routine colonoscopy unexpectedly led to severe cognitive complications, unraveling into a sudden and dramatic onset of Lewy Body symptoms. We emphasize the critical importance of being informed about the potential cognitive impacts of anesthesia, especially for those with pre-existing neurological conditions.

  • Navigating Sleep Disturbances in Lewy Body Dementia: Practical Tips and Community Support
    May 29 2024

    This week, Curry and I share about REM Sleep Disorder and the importance of having your loved on video tape your sleep patterns.

    This episode also digs into the frustrating journey of finding effective sleep aids, featuring personal experiences with melatonin, Seroquel, Clonazepam, and CPAP machines. We discuss the challenges of distinguishing between dream states and reality, and the impact of sleep disturbances on daily life and relationships. Caregivers will find invaluable tips on tracking symptoms with checklists and journals, and the importance of providing clear evidence to doctors through videotaping behaviors. Lastly, we underscore the power of community, especially through Zoom support groups, as a vital resource for shared experiences and mutual understanding in coping with Lewy Body Dementia.
