Brilliant day in Barnsley

-

Barnsley

 

I had a brilliant day at Barnsley Independent Alzheimer's and Dementia Support yesterday, and came away thrilled by their sheer guts and determination to do well for all who have this illness and their carers.

 

These were a wonderful group of people who are dedicated to their role and nothing seems to phase them.

 

Some charities cover people with dementia and not the carers, and some go the other way, looking after the carers. But this group has services for people with dementia as well as services for carers and ex carers.

 

They also have mixed services where people with dementia and carers join in, which is brilliant, as these services take in all sorts of things including day trips etc.

 

The services they have going there go further than anything I have seen up till now, and for an independent group they really have done well in raising awareness and funding.

 

They started off in 2010 and now have 70 volunteers and staff which is brilliant.

 

Well done to all concerned.

    Hello! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I'm trying
    to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve
    this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
    Thanks!

Can Dementia lead to eyesight problems

Dementia and Eyesight problems
I noticed some time ago, that my eyesight was giving me problems when trying to read and concentrate on things like my blog, but when I got my eyes tested I was told there is nothing wrong.

I know that my brain fluctuates quite regularly during the day, through my Lewy Body Dementia, and I go from being active to not being able to work things out, so I am now wondering whether this has some effect on my eyesight as well as this also fluctuates, and after a while it becomes annoying. I sometimes get blurred vision and other times I see double. I had double vision problems many years ago and it was corrected, but that was before the Lewy Body dementia started. 

I confess that I am starting to wonder if the dementia is behind this, especially as it’s intermittent and not there all of the time. I try to keep myself active but when this starts it causes upset as I cannot do the things I want to do, or cannot see properly to concentrate.

Time to Raise Awareness of Dementia Again

-
Brought out each year, so I can remember what I wrote about raising awareness



It’s time to start our yearly campaign to raise awareness of dementia, and as I am away on holiday at the time of this event, I am trying to, do everything I can before we go away Dementia is an illness that no one wants, and it’s something very few really understand, because we don’t know what causes it.



Many of us lose friends once we get the diagnosis, and that is very hard to accept, but most of this is caused by pure ignorance of the illness

Many people refuse to accept the diagnosis when it is given, and then refuse help.



Some people have said that family members refuse to accept the diagnosis, and even try to say that there is nothing visibly wrong with the person who has the illness. This is something which can go on to cause more stress to the person with dementia



Many assume that everyone with dementia is the same, yet we are all individuals, on individual journeys, so no two people with any form of th…

Dementia and chest infections

-
I had never realised until recently just how much a chest infection changes a person with a neurological illness like dementia.



I had a bad one three weeks ago and realised that I was going up the wall, and was doing and saying things that hurt my wife, or at least I did after I did it.



I honestly do not know how this happens but it is hurtful to everyone around, at the time, as we do things which are totally out of character.

I have been diagnosed as having another yesterday, so that must be about the sixth one this year, and its getting me down.



I thought I was alright in the morning apart from being chesty, having a horrendous headache and coughing up loads of rubbish. We then we went out shopping where I went dizzy and ended up hanging on to the shop shelves for security


After a while my wife rang the doctors to get an appointment before they closed for the weekend.

But these people seem to have vastly different ideas, each time you see the doctor that is in the clinic when we …
