Thank you so much for this thorough presentation! Very helpful! Very clearly presented. The speed of your voice is very helpful. Trying to follow a faster talker is so difficult!

First, I am so grateful for your thorough explanation of dementia. I was able to follow and understand, thank you. I was diagnosed with MCI last year. Doctor put me on Memantine and this med helped for a few months with my executive function. I started to cook again and plan meals. I was so happy to be motivated again. Sadly, it did not last. I had to stop taking it due to dizziness in the morning. Now, my doc doesn't know what else to give me. Seems so hopeless. The new medications are so expensive that most people cannot afford them in this country. I hope this changes soon for the other dementia patients. Please keep educating us on this disease.

Reverse babyhood, is my description of the aged adult.
When my car accident happened, aged 34 as a senior social worker here in Australia, coma for about two weeks. The severe Traumatic Brain Injury had now been the last 38 years.
Brain Injury at any age, has neurological effects, independent of dementia. Dementia is not reversible, not comprehensible, compared to normal brain injury.
Now that my wife and myself are experiencing old age, the winner in our first ever legal marriage, is the person who gets dementia, second.
Decline with biochemistry is normal in all biological mechanisms. Decline in functioning is normal with all machinery. Some "lucky" people might not live long enough to experience healthy adult living, and some might not live long enough to experience old age, with its biochemical decline.

[@oakfat5178]

Is there any info on loss of executive function in bvFTD?
I always get my hopes up when I see "dementia" but sadly, they always mean Alzheimer's
I can't get anyone I know - apart from the specialist - to believe that loss of executive function even exists - it's always attributed to laziness, bad attitude etc

[@patriciajump9511]

This info is not being given in logical order. Each statement is not inaccurate, but she is not explaining stages or levels of impairment.

[@selmajohnson-jackson3906]

I am have mild dementia can I stop dementia?

[@fufu9066]

Sorry but there is no cure but you can treat it

[@mariehall9514]
