Open Mic Airs on Alzheimer's Speaks

View descriptionShare

Today we talked with Steven A. Barbieri and Truthful Loving Kindness, both living with dementia. It was a very interesting show with great insights. We covered a variety of topics listed below.

  1. * The diagnostic process and the difficulty in getting an actual type of dementia pinned down.
  2. Like Cancer, Dementia is a category, not an official disease like Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular, FTD, CTE…
  3. We also dive into the benefits of exercise.
  4. The importance of the Phrases – Nothing About Us Without Us and Nothing About Me Without Me
  5. Organizations that tout having a “Token” person living with dementia on the board… and the impact of that.
  6. Truthful’s Blog on dementia symptoms and strategies.
  7. Using a cell phone for strategies, pictures to help remember things or events, calendars, and reminder alerts.
  8. Quality of Life for people living with dementia. *Bidets, what a wonderful tool as the disease progresses.
