My experience as a caregiver for my wife who has Lewy Body Dementia is that I have had to be very assertive with her needs for diagnostic clarity and treatment. The current corporate medical environment is not conducive to conversations or resolution of complicated situations. It is important to have an advocate and/or to advocate for yourself in order to get the care you need. Good luck.

I appreciate your advocacy for your wife's medical care. It is important to advocate for ourselves and for our loved ones who are unable to advocate for themselves.

What sort of treatments has your wife had as a result of your advocacy?
