(Dementia Just Ain't) Sexy: October 2014
http://dementiajustaintsexy.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Dementia Just Ain't) Sexy. Wednesday, 29 October 2014. In my previous post I discussed confabulation. A lesser-known variant of delusion or hallucination, which can be experienced by some people with dementia. The challenge these symptoms pose to carers is how best to respond, in order to minimise distress? Broadly speaking, there are three approaches:. Reorientation: attempting to reassert the factual truth, to override the delusion. Collusion: accepting the delusion and going along with it. There are a...

Dementia Just Ain't) Sexy. Monday, 6 July 2015. An Economically Viable Unit. I woke this morning to news. Of an Alzheimer's Society report. That states that over 50% of GPs think that patients with dementia don't get enough support from the NHS, and 67% think those patients don't get enough support from Social Services. (The NHS budget being ring-fenced, while the social care budget - encompassing most of those living with dementia - is not.). INT NON-DENOMINATIONAL APOLITICAL CELEBRATORY BUILDING - DAY.

Dementia Just Ain't) Sexy. Tuesday, 3 March 2015. Knowing Me, Knowing You. 8220;Does she still recognise you? That’s what everyone asks. Answer: for the moment, to some extent, yes. My mum does still recognise me. She knows me by sight. But what does that phrase really mean? Think of the many people you. 8220;know by sight”: members of your gym class, a cashier in your local supermarket, fellow commuters on your train, regulars at your favourite coffee shop or bar. As if she knows me. An only child in my...

Dementia Just Ain't) Sexy. Wednesday, 27 February 2013. Social Care: A Women's Issue? As I was w. Riting my previous post, Socialcare Is Not a Lifestyle Choice. Issue impacts disproportionatel y on women. Longer life expectancy means that women are on average more likely than men to need care services. For instance, 1/15 women aged 75 to 79 has dementia, as opposed to 1/19 men; that figure rises to 1/9 women v 1/10 men over 80, and 1/2 v 1/3 over 95:. UK Alzheimer's Society 2014 infographic.

Dementia Just Ain't) Sexy. Thursday, 23 May 2013. It's (Not) So Funny How We Don't Talk Any More. Mum in her singing days. The phone calls, which had been a shared pleasure for most of my adult life, now became onerous; mum would call me multiple times in the day and night, sometimes redialling immediately, because she couldn’t remember having spoken to me before and still had a pressing impulse to say something – the same thing, over and over, and often of a disturbing or accusatory nature. And when I v...

Dementia Just Ain't) Sexy. Tuesday, 26 March 2013. Diagnosis: Why a "Label" Matters. Diagnosis is a hot topic – and a hot potato. Statistics published by the UK Alzheimer's Society. State that only 48% of people living with dementia in England have received a formal diagnosis, with rates of diagnosis varying widely between different areas of the country and the UK as a whole. In order to address this, in 2013 the government made diagnosis a strategic priority and proposed a new DES. The traditional medic...

Dementia Just Ain't) Sexy. Thursday, 25 April 2013. Not Just "Memory Problems". It was the kind of trip we’d made numerous times together – a few days away in a nice hotel, a bit of shopping, theatre, sight-seeing. I returned to the first floor. Corridor still empty. Beginning to panic, I dashed up to the next floor, and the next – and eventually I found her. “Where have you been? 8221;, I scolded, with the angry relief of a frightened parent reclaiming a feckless child. “Why didn’t you j...At the time, ...
