Geez, I must of missed this video. Leslie, my husband served 43 years in the Military so you can imagine his level of PTSD and trauma. He is on no meds at all, through the Veterans Affairs and comrade support, he uses breathing techniques, visual aides and CBD topical creme for pain. Through the last few years any aches and pains have been successfully managed with CBD cremes. I wonder if this would be a possibility for Jason for his back. There would be no issues with any of his oral meds and, I think, would be worth a try if you have not already used it. . Just a thought 🤗🇨🇦

My husband has inclusion body myositis which is an incurable muscle disease. I have been doing some research and found promising data on ketogenic therapy for neurological conditions and cancer. It may help with dementia also.

My problem is being patient with him. He says I treat him like a child. Well I probably do but I don’t know what else to do? Do you need to go to bathroom, it’s time to eat and watch him eat and take his meds, take a bath, watch him to make sure he does the basic daily things, shave, brush his teeth. He used to care how he looks when he went out now he doesn’t. I miss him and I’m grieving for his old self. He has always been forgetful but he is so much more than forgetful now. Im Realizing how seriously this is getting and I am scared for him, for us. I have no one to talk to about this so thank you for your sessions.

My husband has Alzheimers. Into around 2 yrs of this. He is declining slowly. He doesn’t realize how much he has declined. He does know he can’t do certain things because he can’t remember steps from taking something apart and putting back together such as cleaning the vaccum cleaner. Like a child as to reminding him basic things as to eat,drink something, take your meds, it makes him angry. I feel for you both. Thank you for this.

This happened to 2 people in my family. This makes it clearer. My father use to buy so many vitamins and herbs, exercise equipment and treatments for sore joints. 3+ garages filled with museum of dad’s life. Many things displayed but no where to sit! 😀 He is allowing my brother to declutter. Thank goodness he can’t read a series of numbers anymore or tv would sell him so much junk. My father is gotten kinder and gentler with care givers.

Thank you for giving us a glimpse of what life is like with a loved one with dementia. My aunt lived for 12 years with dementia, and her daughter kept her home with her until she passed (she was not early onset). I am sure it's a challenge to help others in this way and filter out the negative responses by "trolls" of the internet. Your channel is truly altruistic in that you both help complete strangers by showing us a glimpse into your joys and struggles. God bless you both and I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas.

Jason explains his memory decline very well in his description of the shelving task. It must be so frustrating knowing it's all wrong but he can't figure out how to fix it. Mood medication to help Jason live in a balanced state is important to help them live in harmony at home.

Jason I was in TEARS after hearing about your Friends, not calling or coming around, I have decided that you need to Call and Confront them and find out what is UP, NO ONE and I mean NO one is 100% , Everyone needs to understand that, I want to share with you, I am 67 YOUNG 67, I am active and live fun, Recently I had a STROKE and The only Bad thing is I now have to use a Cane to get around, I am still the same person, I care about everyone, BUT I have not heard recently from Friends or family, BUT I see enough pictures of all the fun they are having, Recently My son and Daughter in law and grandkids went on a short cruise, They asked her Parents and friends to go, I asked WHY DID you not ask us to go, Her Reply was Well YOU can not do everything, Well that is OK we do what we can being with grandkids, and others would be nice , Dinner at night, What ever, but you can still ask, IT hurts and burns, So I hear your HEART. I pray for you *

My sister was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at her age of 50. She is now 60. She can’t have a normal conversation. She has to be shown the fork to eat. She had to dissolve her architecture business. She does not drive or ride her bike. Her husband took early retirement to help take care of her. You are so lucky your husband has a real conversation with you. Alzheimer’s is a family disease passed down.

Oh guys, I am relating! My sweet hubby has been in Memory Care since February. He has early onset Alz, was Dx'd 8 years ago and due to his restlessness and being up alot during the night, I had to move him into Memory Care. HARD! I am really doing fine by the grace of God, but my heart SO goes out to my husband. My strong, dignified, respected, handsome husband is slowly fading away and is a vulnerable adult. BUT my hope is in the fact that he knew the Lord and God's got his boys back. Our loved ones will be totally restored and better someday Leslie! And we'll talk again...Thank you for helping me not feel alone.

Jason. People fade out as we get sick. The sicker I got less and less friends. I used to travel with a pack of 12 women. Now none . So don’t get discouraged because people as a whole can be jerks. If you guys don’t have a dog get one. Always a friend. Loves to see you. Thinks your the best. Always my best to you two. ❤❤❤

I was just diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia last week. After 2 1/2 years of being bounced around in the medical industry. I have zero friends left, I worked 44 years of my life in an executive role, "had" a very high IQ. I have many moments of good cognitive thinking; I wish I didn't. My wife is not like yours; she will just ignore me and leave the house to spend time with her girlfriends who completely feel sorry for her. All the while I sit and stare out the window knowing that no one cares and hoping this is over soon. My advice to all you young men out there... who cares, get a small cheap house, do not get married, buy a boat and enjoy your lives. Believe me working 90-hour weeks and holidays with the promise you will retire and lay on a beach is all a pipe dream. You're working for someone else to be happy. At the end of the day no one will even call you to see how you are doing or show up at your funeral.... Just my thought.
