Re: Irene's Mental Health
I've had seizures, they are very weird. You have no idea you had one. In my case I don't know who I am or where I am after one. Oddly they have all been related to my psoriatic arthritis as it was meds docs gave me to try. I had a seizure due to a fever as a baby and when you have one seizure your brain is altered to where you are prone to another. Terrible thing they are, I had one at work and turned blue. Almost got my license pulled but it's been around six years now, after a certain period the medical community tells you not to worry. My heart goes out to anyone with epilepsy as they are some scary things. Usually you get that aura letting u know one is coming but not in all cases.
Oddly I was finishing a project at work Monday morn and I guess I pinched a nerve. I'm in more pain, should have called out sick
Re: Irene's Mental Health
A guy with bad Tourettes next door to me has to whip his neck around like snake and has to shout "bazooka Joe!" Over and over, he is a lawyer and drives a Z3 and his house is worth about $900,000 (about £800,000), but when he is out doing yard work in his backyard he has to wear a neck brace to protect his neck. The other neighbor told me that this Tourettes guy will get whiplash by jerking his neck violently and MUST WEAR THE NECK BRACE. Yet he makes $275,000 per year in Manhattan (£240,000).

Now that u two are being friendly I'm reading revelations and scanning the sky as I fear end times are coming
Re: Irene's Mental Health
Hey dudes, for those of u with family members with dementia, Alzheimer's etc what have you found helpful. There is a drug I beleive it's called aricept that is supposed to slow the illness but nothing stops it. I'm know nootropics are good for memory but they are supplements so probably not that effective at crossing the blood brain barrier and I haven't read any studies on any dementia trials. Anyway, I know Alzheimer's is a death sentence but have you guys observed anything that helped, I don't care if it's minerals or kryptonite, anything that you noticed improved quality of life.

Lifting heavy iron weights/dumbbells slows dementia.

Mental tasks and exercise help like jigsaws or sewing. Looking at family photos and having conversations also help. My wife is currently making a quilt with all things that were an interest for my mum.

In Jewish weddings the couple are often married under a Chuppah, a quilt hung over a canopy which they keep as an heirloom. My brother got each guest to donate a square of material (of a set size) that meant something to them for his, and then his mum sewed it together. I think Christians often make patchwork quilts for remembrance too and as an act of meditation. That is a lovely thing for your wife to do.
Re: Irene's Mental Health
Interesting, makes sense, have u guys seen studies on this. I know assisted living facilities can decrease cognitive function, not to the point of dementia of course but with decreased mental stimulation your cognition decreases. I'm curious since dementia is biological how much stimulation does help. Anyway, thank you

I do have her curling these little weights and she does morning exercise at the place, it certainly doesn't hurt and it's good she is doing it but I have heard nothing about that helping. It very well could I just don't know. I'm the end there is nothing that stops Alzheimer's but if they can give her more time of quality it's worth a shot. She is having some good days. She has a few other issues which I have ont go into know but they could have effected her memory, it was serious stuff. That's why I'm bringing her to her appointments to get to the bottom of this. She calls me a couple times a week to tell me about the appointment and ask me if I'm coming even though I set it up and told her I was coming. I find it very important not to get annoyed at her as it is something she didn't realize but I caught myself getting perturbed a couple times.
At least Brock and I are back together. I just hope it doesn't complicate things with me and miles

I think Miles is open enough to your seeing other people.
