In this virtual discussion, Dr. Jennifer Goldman will explain the signs and symptoms of Lewy body dementia and how it is significantly different from other types of dementia.
Helen Medsger shares her family story of living with this complex condition and how she finds empowerment through advocacy for the Lewy body dementia community.
Julia Wood, Director of Professional and Community Education at the Lewy Body Dementia Association, provides an overview of the support, services and research efforts of LBDA and how they can support families living with LBD.

I came from Colombia south America and l have an 84 year old sister, who was diagnosed with this dementia. But she came from a big family, of 11 children and when she was 1 year old, she fell down from a very high second floor window to the ground, but amazingly she survived!
It seems to me that great accidents in which a person can hurt their brain, has something to do with this dementia.
Has anyone investigated, the relationship, between this dementia and having accidents during their lives, in which they hurt their brains ?

My concern is where I am at with this path… I’m not in a designated dementia stage, and am beginning to dive into MCI. What do I do to stay in this range for a long as I can?
