Lewy Body and Mindful Caregiving

53: Embracing Lewy Body Dementia Medication


Listen Later

In today's episode of Lewy Body and Mindful Caregiving, I open up about the sensitive journey of embracing medications for loved ones with Lewy Body Dementia. While these meds don't cure the illness, they can enhance the quality of life by reducing symptoms like hallucinations and anxiety. I share personal experiences with my mom's care and the tough decisions caregivers face—such as choosing whether or not to keep Narcan on hand. Join me for an honest conversation on navigating medication choices and the emotional rollercoaster of caregiving. Self-care is crucial, and you're not alone on this journey.
