Communicating Challenges With Lewy Body and Dementia
Hello:
This discussion is being put together allow LBD patients and caregivers a place to exchange ideas on our communication challenges.
As a LBD patient - I like to share some insight into what things look like from the patient side. I call it - from "in here".
I encourage other patients to chime in.
I will be posting some tips daily for communication - if that is what you would like.
Looking forward to growing this discussion and learning from and with all of you.
Caregivers - always remember that we love you and appreciate what you do for us everyday. Even if we can't say it or even seem cognizant of it - our heart knows.
Peace

Funny you should mention this. It is one of the strategies that my wife and I use for me. For instance instead of where should we go for lunch is a big deal for me. Way too much to process plus a decision to be made. So she will narrow down the choices to start. She will break it down to like Italian of Mexican. I can usually manage that one.
Excellent to think of the things we do as a coping mechanism can be used to help me when asking questions of others - to narrow down the scope hoping it wont get too complicated.
Thanks!!!
Peace

My pleasure!
