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.

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.

This week we share comments from question posted in the groups on what you would have wanted the doctor who diagnosed you to tell you about LBD - more than to just get your affairs in order?
