Thats opposite of me-- I feel better in the warm temps, even though I grew up in Western Washington State. I was born in Seattle at Ballard.

Hi Sue,

Welcome to the group. My name is Pam and I live in Australia. So when are you going to be tested and how did you find out you may have a thyroid problem?

My friends, I need to consult with some of you who have had your LO with LBD the

longest time. One of our sons is an airline pilot and we've enjoyed the benefits

in flying almost for nothing -Sherman and I. Now this son, his German wife of

more than 2 years and their little 18 months girl are going to have a

celebration of their marriage in Germany on the 2nd of August with her family

and friends from there (they didn't want anything done here when they got

married). I'm ready to go, waiting for one of my husband's sisters to let me

know if she thinks she'd be able to take care of him in my absence. He's not

been doing too well lately, a little confused and weak, and I let her know of

his condition (by the way, I didn't give him the Provigil today and he did

better -and thanks a lot for the answers that I got). My question is, how many

of you have had the experience of going away from your LO, especially a

husband, for several days? I'll be away for

about 9 days. If that has happened, what was the reaction of the LBD patient at

your absence? Did he/she get worse for missing you?

I'll be waiting for your answer.

Love,

Raquel

(If it wasn't for this special occasion, I'd be there at that LBD conference

(symposium?)

Donna great advice :) A trial-run...

cindy,

 

applejuice apple sauce etc are good things for him to eat/drink to help

stabliize bowel movements, plum juice and prune juice, i dont like prunes, but

the plum juice is so good. i also take magnesium oxide, and that helps some. 

the spice ginger is also good for motivating bowels, like ginger snaps,

molasses, gingerbread, or even graham crackers can help, as well. 

about your job, is there any way your mom can hire or you hire for her some

help, call teh council of aging and also teh elders affairs office, they are

both in their new physical year and have federal programs that your parents may

qualify for to get help and necessary supplies.  both of those organizatoins

helped me out a great deal. try to keep your job as long as you dont get

overrun.  you need the escape for as long as possible but dont sacrifice your

health and get rundown trying to keep it,  just more or less thinking out loud

here. 

take care and hugs. sharon a-m

Raquel,

 

There are respite programs available for caregivers to get a break and have

their lo put in a nh or alf for up to 2 weeks or more if emergency for it. and

this resourse is great. 

as for daddy, he didnt do well when donnie was gone, he would feel threatenened

and unhappy without him.  but as for me, he would panic if i wasnt home the

exact time i said i would be, like if i said i would be home sunday at 4pm, at

4.00pm if i wasnt walking in the door he would start a panic attack.  so we

learned to add time to my promise like if i knew i would be home at 4pm on

sunday i would tell daddy an hour later or a day later so i would be coming home

ealry instead of late..  good luck and hugs sharon
