She is such a good teacher! Have her make more videos please

[@Mr104752]

Thank you for vascular info. I have it and appreciate info. Love the teacher.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Hollie and James L West for a informational and concise presentation on vascular dementia.

[@bakokat6982]

Thank you for this very important information. Your presentation is clear, The pace makes it very understandable. Being a caregiver, over a long time, and not taking care of myself, and having a sudden recent TIA has given me a big wake up call. Even then I had to wait to go to a ER until a family member could come to watch and care for my disabled person. Yes caregivers often do fail to take care of themselves. Lesson learned.

This lady is excellent and this information is very helpful. What a God send!

[@jameslwest1]

Wow, thank you!

How do I go about getting my mother out of nursing care? So I can become her caregiver? Please and Thank you ❤

One person can't do it, especially if your mother need to be watched 24x7. If your mother has physical challenges, you may need a wheelchair accessible house. Being able to safely lift and transfer without injuring you or your mother may require equipment. Hospice can help if your mother is eligible.

I am a registered nurse in Houston Texas. Is it too late to get CEU’s for watching this video. I’ve watched two of your videos and would like to have CE use for it as it has been very very helpful for me

[@jameslwest1]

Hi @lindablaise262 We are only able to provide CE credits for approved programs to those who attend the "live" program and not the recorded version. Please visit our website to see our education calendar and future programs at www.jameslwest.org

What happens with our brain? More information needed

[@jameslwest1]

Hi @karmajanesandiego764. I encourage you to watch our Alzheimer's Disease: How it Affects the Brain video to get a better understanding of what happens with the brain in someone living with dementia.

[@eugeniafreire2477]

My mother has this type of dementia along with vascular Parkinson.

[@karmajanesandiego764]

What did this to us!!!!!

[@karmajanesandiego764]

Why does this happen 😢

[@eScential]

It is great to realize the person is 'having' a hard time but i wish the same grace was allowed minors, especially autistics. A question based on my recovery in final longest medically allowed survival with early onset 'atypical alzheimers': You don't address biotoxin (often treatable) dementia. Is it ignored/prohibited? I have had a great functional decade starting in days of leaving the mycotoxin filled environment and 80% of residences are demonstrated to have mold. I get mocked or silenced for mentioning even to those in documented long-term mycotoxin exposure. It seems like medical gaslighting and deliberate denial along with other proven caused dementias. Medical professionals tried to teach me that method in university, but it never made sense to me. I was also taught the person with dementia is not aware nor able to suffer from brain function loss, which could be justfied by the denial of a dementia dx until very late stage (say last 3-4 years depending on flavor) however, i was extremely aware and distressed (NOT chemically depressed) for about 7 years prior to that final period. I think that is a comfortable self-deception by surrounding real people. Both me and mom knew and suffered a couple decades before that final go.die decade from the gaslights, but not dad. He was intervened and 'heard' for his 2 symptomatic, but lucid decades. Is that a sex-bias or gender bias that is a mutable factor?
