Hang in there! I took care of my mom up until the end, and being in my sixties with my glucose levels being out of control gave me a taste of what my mom was going through. My glucose levels are under much better control now, but I definitely remember what those moments were like. There is a lot of confusion, fear, shame, and even anger involved when your parent is having an episode. Exercising patience and understanding to the best of your ability is huge. Also, remember to do what you can to protect their dignity. There were several times when I had to immediately jump in the shower after taking care of my mom, so I do understand it's tough at times. Praying for you both!

I lost my mum three years ago to Alzheimer's but I was convinced mum had LBD as the back leaning thing was typical when dressing or trying to get her upstairs. I literally had to support her from behind with one hand whilst gripping the handrail as she would lean backwards.

Thank you so much for your work. I have been a nurse for many years and have noticed cognitive decline in my husband. We are unable to see a neurologist until March 2023. Every day I pray for his safety and well-being.

[@teepasnowvideos]

Hi, @Valerie Bryant, you are very welcome. If you'd like to connect with one of our team members prior to the March visit, please reach out for a free 30-minute consult. ([e-mail]) or you might want to check out one of our care partner support classes (teepasnow.com/services/consulting/care-partner-support-series/) for yourself. We also have some groups for your husband if he'd like to connect (teepasnow.com/resources/for-people-living-with-dementia/)

[@jimprior5700]

Very good but why do we have to learn this from you tube? The medical professionals have to do a better job even if it's to tell you about something like this on You tube . Come on Docs, you can do better. We wait months for an appointment and often get rushed and little info is given at appointment..

[@teepasnowvideos]

Agree! We do love providing the content, educating and supporting those with brain change and their loved ones.

Thanks! Lewy is its own animal to maneuver!

[@aiconic10]

Thank you so much! You helped me navigate a situation just like that. I did it correctly by instinct but it's nice to see what I thought was right be the correct approach. I had to change what I was doing. Not just with the potty but with many things. It works.

[@teepasnowvideos]

Glad it helped, @doordiepoker2k7!

[@kathebeaver3227]

The root cause is always nutritional deficiencies and cellular toxicities. Also, Hippocrates said over 2000 years ago that disease begins in the gut.

[@teepasnowvideos]

Hello, @DOC SIBO, will nutritional deficiencies may play a part in many dementias, there still needs to be more research. There are so many factors that are involved since our brains are so complex. If you would like to discuss your opinions/ideas more, please reach out to our team at [e-mail] or 1-877-877-1671.

[@docsibo6197]

@@teepasnowvideos actually I researched and developed a mind map on AD. So for sure, dementia is indeed multifactorial, from methylation (the B vitamin cycle) to heavy metals, intestinal diseases, leaky blood brain barrier and so much more. One of the major nutrient deficiencies in cognitive impairment is B12. Most B12 deficiencies are not diagnosed due to the fact that they use serum B12 as apposed to a serum methylmalonic acid (MMA) test, or better yet, a urnine MMA test. We become B12 deficient much sooner than when the serum B12 blood test becomes low. The low end of the standard reference range for blood B12 is far too low. We are made up of an average of 50 trillion cells and they all have their roles. When cells become toxic and deficient in nutrients (cell food), they can no longer play their important physiological and biochemical roles in the body. At that point, the weakest link in that specific host will determine the “dis ease” the individual is diagnosed with. We cannot separate the 10 systems in the body. They all work synergistically together.

[@cilla268]

Thankyou for this video, Teepa. My mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's during covid lockdown. The memory clinic sent a nurse to do the full memory test and three weeks later diagnosed AD in a 5 minute phonecall. Her right hand had a strong tremor and she would lean backwards as you show in this film. I was her carer and it was a struggle to dress her because of the leaning. I'm so glad I found this film as I believe she had LBD and parkinsons. She died almost 2 years ago.

[@teepasnowvideos]

Hi, @cilla268, I'm SO sorry for your loss, but I'm also glad that you were able to care for your mum and be there for her. Thanks for sharing.
