Where is the laughing emoji 🤔..
Thank you for a funny moment- and I get really upset at making others feel guilty for not "getting help" soon enough. My hubby is in a research study for Lewy Body Dementia at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, and one of the main goals of the program is to learn how to identify LBD earlier to try to minimize and/or treat it sooner. The researchers (MD's, neuro-psychologists, etc.) were able to go back about 28 years to 1998 when I first noticed the sleep disturbances. There is no telling when/where it originates and no one should feel guilty about the timing of a diagnosis.

@teacher502 I would love to connect. My husband tested positive on the skin biopsies for LBD and it’s no surprise - he is different than typical AD.
Probably too late for a Research study. He is now acclimating to the memory care at the CCRC I will be moving to in August.
