2013-07-31 06:05:57 PM cryshd they did offer a workshop on what it feels like to experience dementia
2013-07-31 06:06:06 PM cindynick years ago as a dietitian and spent one year in Altzhiemers, on the job training activities
2013-07-31 06:06:09 PM stevemelton I haven't had any training specifically for Alzheimer's and dementia
2013-07-31 06:06:11 PM cryshd where they put goggle and gloves and headphones piping in loud noises
2013-07-31 06:06:11 PM suzanneoliver My husband passed away from alz a year and a half ago. So I know about the disease but no training
2013-07-31 06:06:14 PM barbalbert interesting tell me more
2013-07-31 06:06:15 PM khurley2013 Hello, anyone here from mepap2?
2013-07-31 06:06:18 PM angel4aml18 I did that one where you wear the goddles, etc.
2013-07-31 06:06:20 PM dianajacoby Quite a bit. Formal, workshops, teaching...
2013-07-31 06:06:24 PM angel4aml18 I am from MEPAP2

2013-07-31 06:06:46 PM stevemelton Suzaeen. So sorry to hear about your loss.
2013-07-31 06:06:46 PM cchase it is one thing to work with the population
2013-07-31 06:06:52 PM lisashockley10 ive done the goggle thing too
2013-07-31 06:06:56 PM cchase and quite another to understand the disease
2013-07-31 06:07:09 PM barbalbert my father in law has dementia
2013-07-31 06:07:18 PM juniorbull enter the chat room
2013-07-31 06:07:27 PM cchase what do you all know about the disease??
2013-07-31 06:07:30 PM juniorbull hi all
2013-07-31 06:07:38 PM dianajacoby In my experiences, they went hand-in-hand.
2013-07-31 06:07:38 PM barbalbert no cure
2013-07-31 06:07:40 PM cryshd I'm hoping to take the CE class about it, but it will probably be after MEPAP 1
2013-07-31 06:07:50 PM cchase yes - no cure
2013-07-31 06:07:52 PM lisashockley10 my experience is with working w/alz daily basis
2013-07-31 06:07:54 PM cchase what else?
2013-07-31 06:07:56 PM khurley2013 I work in memory care
2013-07-31 06:08:10 PM dianajacoby I couldn't iimagine working with the population and not understanding the disease. I'd feel overwhelmed and at a complete loss. It wouldn't work for me.
2013-07-31 06:08:17 PM cryshd memories begin to dissappear beginning with the most recent until the individual is left with childhood memories
2013-07-31 06:08:28 PM cryshd many of our patients call out for their mothers
2013-07-31 06:08:28 PM cchase hmmm
2013-07-31 06:08:42 PM cchase why do they call out for their mothers?
2013-07-31 06:08:44 PM cindynick It's a progressive disease that affects everyone differently . It can last a long time or be fairly quick.
2013-07-31 06:08:58 PM khurley2013 one of our ladies calls out for her mom too
2013-07-31 06:08:59 PM lisashockley10 ive gained alot of knowledge jus being in that atmosphere
2013-07-31 06:09:05 PM cchase why do you think they do that
2013-07-31 06:09:08 PM cryshd I think anxiety is part of the condition?
2013-07-31 06:09:13 PM cryshd they want to feel safe
2013-07-31 06:09:14 PM juniorbull i know the caregiver is a hard ,hard job
2013-07-31 06:09:35 PM cchase right. they are looking for safety with mom
2013-07-31 06:09:41 PM cchase what else??
2013-07-31 06:09:44 PM lisashockley10 they are going back to their long term memory
2013-07-31 06:09:50 PM dianajacoby They may be "living" in that part of their life.
2013-07-31 06:09:59 PM cchase explain long term memory
2013-07-31 06:10:07 PM cindynick maybe caregivers are like mom
2013-07-31 06:10:13 PM barbalbert earlier years
2013-07-31 06:10:20 PM juniorbull many years ago memory
2013-07-31 06:10:22 PM cchase how earlier??
2013-07-31 06:10:22 PM lisashockley10 things that happened in the past
2013-07-31 06:10:23 PM cryshd the "oldest" memories
2013-07-31 06:10:29 PM cindynick long term memory is memories from long ago
2013-07-31 06:10:32 PM cchase how far in the past?
2013-07-31 06:10:35 PM cchase and why??
2013-07-31 06:10:40 PM barbalbert don't know
2013-07-31 06:10:47 PM dianajacoby LTM are memories are integrated stored throughout the cortex of the brain.
2013-07-31 06:11:01 PM cchase when were these memories stored
2013-07-31 06:11:06 PM lisashockley10 some go as far back as when they were children
2013-07-31 06:11:11 PM barbalbert happy times
2013-07-31 06:11:27 PM dianajacoby From childhood.
2013-07-31 06:11:34 PM cchase happy times and sad??
2013-07-31 06:11:40 PM suzanneoliver my husband had post tramatic stress from Vietnam. It sped up the process. He lived in the war(but it was really the past), at the last he tried to protect me from bullets from the enemy horrible disease
2013-07-31 06:11:41 PM lisashockley10 good memories for them
2013-07-31 06:11:43 PM dianajacoby Both.
2013-07-31 06:11:50 PM cchase right
2013-07-31 06:11:50 PM juniorbull when it was happening?
2013-07-31 06:12:03 PM cchase but why do they do this??
2013-07-31 06:12:04 PM stevemelton I have often thought of how we seem to remember the especially good times and bad times so Alz patients would be no different, would they?
2013-07-31 06:12:10 PM suzanneoliver It was all in his mind
2013-07-31 06:12:13 PM dianajacoby Also olfactory and emotional memories, not just episodic.
2013-07-31 06:12:35 PM cchase that is somewhat correct
2013-07-31 06:12:43 PM cchase but do you know why
2013-07-31 06:13:02 PM cryshd does it have to do with the neural pathways? maybe because they are older, they are stronger, more ingrained?
2013-07-31 06:13:03 PM lisashockley10 the brain is diseased and all thats left is long term memories
2013-07-31 06:13:14 PM cindynick the pathways in thier brains are deteriorating so they can put newer memories together.
2013-07-31 06:13:23 PM cchase okay let me tell you!
2013-07-31 06:13:34 PM cryshd please do!
2013-07-31 06:13:42 PM cchase Alzheimer's get to the brain and when it does
2013-07-31 06:13:53 PM cchase all the memories before the onset are intact
2013-07-31 06:14:14 PM dianajacoby The amygdala, responsible for our emotions and emotional memories, still functions relatively well throughout the disease process.
2013-07-31 06:14:20 PM lisashockley10 not all of them
2013-07-31 06:14:22 PM cchase but anything after the onset CANNOT be stored in the brain
2013-07-31 06:14:37 PM juniorbull great info cc
2013-07-31 06:14:39 PM cchase it cannot be filed and retreived later
2013-07-31 06:14:44 PM suzanneoliver I didn't know that
2013-07-31 06:15:01 PM dianajacoby left the chat room
2013-07-31 06:15:10 PM cchase the disease prevents the victim from access the memories
2013-07-31 06:15:24 PM cchase think of a computer
2013-07-31 06:15:28 PM cchase same deal
2013-07-31 06:15:39 PM stevemelton So this is because it is literally not stored in the first place. accounts for patients telling you the same thing over and over?
2013-07-31 06:15:48 PM khurley2013 but they can recognize new faces, why is that
2013-07-31 06:15:49 PM cchase when you use the computer you give the file a name- correct?
2013-07-31 06:16:05 PM cchase correct Steve
2013-07-31 06:16:18 PM stevemelton Give it a name, yes? keep going.
2013-07-31 06:16:19 PM khurley2013 and names of new people in their lives
2013-07-31 06:16:36 PM cchase when you use a computer you give it a name to store it for later retreival
2013-07-31 06:16:52 PM lisashockley10 they can retain new information if its reinforced
2013-07-31 06:16:59 PM cchase can't file it anywhere when there is a "virus"
2013-07-31 06:17:04 PM cchase no
2013-07-31 06:17:19 PM cchase they cannot retain new information
2013-07-31 06:17:28 PM cchase inforced or not
2013-07-31 06:17:48 PM cchase the brain has no means of saving the information
2013-07-31 06:18:00 PM barbalbert sad disease
2013-07-31 06:18:02 PM juniorbull so why are there so many different stages.?
2013-07-31 06:18:05 PM cchase yes indeed
2013-07-31 06:18:20 PM cchase sad for families and the victims
2013-07-31 06:18:27 PM cryshd I have a patient who can't even remember the names of her daughters. but when they come to visit, she knows who they are
2013-07-31 06:18:34 PM barbalbert i know right now going through it
2013-07-31 06:18:36 PM lisashockley10 well n my experience they have been able to recognise me and know that im a familar person
2013-07-31 06:18:37 PM cryshd but she has no recall about her life when we ask about it
2013-07-31 06:18:46 PM cchase she "FEELS" who they are
2013-07-31 06:19:04 PM cryshd ah, now that's an interesting notion
2013-07-31 06:19:09 PM cchase she senses that they belong to her in some way
2013-07-31 06:19:11 PM stevemelton The further along the disease progresses, the more recent memories fade until they are left with the earliest ones?
2013-07-31 06:19:21 PM khurley2013 they do though, I work with residents that clearly have dementia, living in the memory care unit and few remember names of other residents, one always says "Dee Dee no!" when Dee is doing something she doesnt like
2013-07-31 06:19:37 PM barbalbert my father in law laughs alot and smiles
2013-07-31 06:19:40 PM cchase yes - they are left with OLD memories which could be stored
2013-07-31 06:19:57 PM suzanneoliver the worst thing that can happen is for them to have any surgury the anethesia kicks it up to new levels
2013-07-31 06:20:01 PM cchase some folks become nicer others not so nice in personality
2013-07-31 06:20:23 PM juniorbull some become violent
2013-07-31 06:20:26 PM barbalbert alot curse and get nasty
2013-07-31 06:20:37 PM cindynick why personality changes
2013-07-31 06:20:37 PM cchase sometimes that may happen but most older folks are not good candidates for surgery
2013-07-31 06:20:41 PM angel4aml18 it is definitely an interesting disease for research but not so interesting when you see how it affects people and thier families
2013-07-31 06:20:45 PM stevemelton As far as rcognizing family, they must know they must be some sort of family and/or friends or they wouldn't be there?
2013-07-31 06:20:59 PM cchase personalities change because they are reacting with emotions
2013-07-31 06:21:06 PM lisashockley10 they have no filter anymore
2013-07-31 06:21:11 PM cchase right
2013-07-31 06:21:21 PM cchase no filters at times
2013-07-31 06:21:25 PM cryshd and they can turn on a dime
2013-07-31 06:21:34 PM barbalbert my father in law will play with cards for hours and is so into it
2013-07-31 06:21:35 PM cchase yes - correct on that too
2013-07-31 06:21:47 PM cchase okay guys listen
2013-07-31 06:22:11 PM cchase the disease will affect one specific area of the brain last. what is that?
2013-07-31 06:22:35 PM cryshd ......?
2013-07-31 06:22:48 PM cchase any guesses?
2013-07-31 06:22:55 PM stevemelton I feel like I should know, but I don't.
2013-07-31 06:23:04 PM cindynick most primitive part where earliest memories are stored?
2013-07-31 06:23:12 PM suzanneoliver Its not always older folks who have the disease
2013-07-31 06:23:13 PM cchase I sort of gave that answer away earlier
2013-07-31 06:23:14 PM juniorbull frontal lobe
2013-07-31 06:23:22 PM stevemelton The part that makes judgment decisions?
2013-07-31 06:23:33 PM cchase correct - we are seeing more and more early onset
2013-07-31 06:23:41 PM cchase no
2013-07-31 06:23:48 PM cchase what else
2013-07-31 06:23:54 PM barbalbert cybera
2013-07-31 06:24:04 PM cryshd short term memory?
2013-07-31 06:24:06 PM meister77 enter the chat room
2013-07-31 06:24:06 PM cchase Nay
2013-07-31 06:24:14 PM barbalbert give up
2013-07-31 06:24:17 PM meister77 hello all
2013-07-31 06:24:30 PM cchase hello there
2013-07-31 06:24:33 PM barbalbert why is younger people getting it
2013-07-31 06:25:06 PM cchase okay - so earlier I said something about "feeling" that a person is family
2013-07-31 06:25:15 PM suzanneoliver Who knows?
2013-07-31 06:25:16 PM cryshd ok
2013-07-31 06:25:30 PM cindynick part of brain that controls emotions
2013-07-31 06:25:32 PM cchase we do not really understand why we see more early onset
2013-07-31 06:25:44 PM cchase yes - you got it!!!!
2013-07-31 06:25:53 PM barbalbert what was the youngest
2013-07-31 06:25:56 PM cchase good job
2013-07-31 06:26:00 PM stevemelton Cindy was correct?
2013-07-31 06:26:23 PM cchase I have heard of someone who is 33 with little ones with early onset
2013-07-31 06:26:29 PM cchase emotions
2013-07-31 06:26:33 PM cchase that is correcgt
2013-07-31 06:26:36 PM stevemelton Hence the losing it?
2013-07-31 06:26:39 PM cchase sorry correct
2013-07-31 06:26:56 PM cchase not totally right steve
2013-07-31 06:26:58 PM barbalbert how do you know if it is happening to you
2013-07-31 06:27:03 PM cchase they don't lose emotions
2013-07-31 06:27:09 PM juniorbull is there A TEST TO SOMEHOW BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE IN THE MOST EARLIEST STAGES?
2013-07-31 06:27:15 PM cchase rather that is what is left to work with
2013-07-31 06:27:23 PM cchase no
2013-07-31 06:27:30 PM cchase no test
2013-07-31 06:27:38 PM barbalbert what are the signs
2013-07-31 06:27:40 PM cchase it is a process of eliminations right now
2013-07-31 06:27:59 PM cchase test are done to see what is not causing the problem
2013-07-31 06:27:59 PM cryshd so they will exhibit signs close to bipolar or schizophrenia? meaning going back and forth between extremes?
2013-07-31 06:28:07 PM stevemelton So the last thing to go or lose is the ability to control emotions?
2013-07-31 06:28:11 PM cchase might do that
2013-07-31 06:28:44 PM cchase all they can do is interpret the world around them through emotions
2013-07-31 06:28:51 PM meister77 doesn't it have to do with genitics
2013-07-31 06:28:58 PM cchase they "Feel"
2013-07-31 06:28:59 PM barbalbert not really living are they
2013-07-31 06:29:20 PM cchase indeed - DNA and family history may affect
2013-07-31 06:29:27 PM juniorbull ITS JUST A TRAGEDY TO WATCH IT HAPPENING
2013-07-31 06:29:34 PM cchase it may increase the probability of coming down with it
2013-07-31 06:29:40 PM cindynick We have to help them to live happily in the moment. Isn't that living?
2013-07-31 06:29:49 PM angel4aml18 nicely said cindy
2013-07-31 06:29:52 PM cchase if you have a DAD or Mom or Uncle with it
2013-07-31 06:29:54 PM barbalbert yes i guess
2013-07-31 06:30:11 PM cchase so right Cindy
2013-07-31 06:30:30 PM cchase we need to help them feel HAPPY
2013-07-31 06:30:31 PM angel4aml18 although it is an unfortunate thing to have happen, they are still humns so they need to be treated with love and respect
2013-07-31 06:30:32 PM cryshd are there any strategies to pull them out of a bad moment and into a happier one?
2013-07-31 06:30:39 PM stevemelton I'ver read some about prevention. keep active mentally and physically. Common sense. Might postpone it.
2013-07-31 06:30:40 PM barbalbert but to see them in their prime and then now hard to watch
2013-07-31 06:31:00 PM cchase yes there are strategies - good question
2013-07-31 06:31:12 PM lisashockley10 its sad to watch the decline. i try to make everyday a good experience
2013-07-31 06:31:27 PM cchase yes steve they are many theories on delaying the onset
2013-07-31 06:31:28 PM meister77 so say if a young adult in their teen has a stroke . do you think they have a increased chance of getting early on set dementia
2013-07-31 06:31:30 PM cindynick Families need even more support than residents. Seems harder on families.
2013-07-31 06:31:36 PM juniorbull ITS IMPORTANT TO USE A SMILE AND LOW TONE AND BE GENTLE WITH THESE PATIENTS
2013-07-31 06:31:39 PM cchase certain foods. brain exercise
2013-07-31 06:32:12 PM cchase brain damage such as TBI can certainly lead to it
2013-07-31 06:32:17 PM lisashockley10 familys definitely have a harder time dealing
2013-07-31 06:32:28 PM stevemelton I've had some success simply talking about old times and asking them about when they were younger. I love hearing the old stories anyway.
2013-07-31 06:32:31 PM cindynick Arent't there many types of dementia. Not all are Altzheimers right?
2013-07-31 06:32:34 PM cchase yes - smiles right tone of voice
2013-07-31 06:33:00 PM stevemelton juniorbull: best advice
2013-07-31 06:33:05 PM cchase great steve - they love to talk about things they do remember good job
2013-07-31 06:33:18 PM cchase correct Cindy
2013-07-31 06:33:19 PM barbalbert i place myself in their world if they are fishing so am i
2013-07-31 06:33:47 PM cchase Alzheimer's happens to be the most publizied disease form of dementia
2013-07-31 06:33:59 PM cchase but they are many more reasons for dementia
2013-07-31 06:34:06 PM juniorbull I NOTICED THAT THE AGREEING WITH THEM ARE A GOOD HABIT
2013-07-31 06:34:28 PM cchase so right - you go where they are
2013-07-31 06:34:38 PM angel4aml18 you disagree with them it only causes them stress and anxiety
2013-07-31 06:34:40 PM lisashockley10 that and redirection
2013-07-31 06:34:42 PM meister77 I agree , it does seem to work
2013-07-31 06:34:44 PM cchase yes - agree - never, never agrue
2013-07-31 06:34:49 PM cchase you will never win
2013-07-31 06:35:02 PM cchase yes - redirection - good goind
2013-07-31 06:35:03 PM barbalbert only upset them
2013-07-31 06:35:04 PM stevemelton barbalbert: good point. When you know they are wrong, it is natural to tell them they are wrong, but that is probably not the best strategy. Unless there is some big safety factor involved. Like " No you cannot play with that fire." Silly, but trying to make a point.
2013-07-31 06:35:06 PM cchase going
2013-07-31 06:35:09 PM cryshd it's hard when they get anxious and say things like " I have to pick up the kids" or take them to the doctor and it seems like no matter what I say sometimes, it's an uphill battle
2013-07-31 06:35:27 PM barbalbert i agree
2013-07-31 06:35:38 PM cchase right steve - safety first but even that has to be handles right
2013-07-31 06:35:42 PM barbalbert i agree they are not harming themselves
2013-07-31 06:35:53 PM lisashockley10 validate and redirect
2013-07-31 06:35:53 PM cchase redirect to get them from harms way
2013-07-31 06:36:03 PM angel4aml18 food is a good distraction
2013-07-31 06:36:23 PM stevemelton angel - good idea. works with me I think
2013-07-31 06:36:37 PM cchase yes - offer
2013-07-31 06:36:48 PM cchase food - books - go for a walk
2013-07-31 06:37:06 PM cchase like a little one
2013-07-31 06:37:07 PM barbalbert when i worked in a nursing home this laDY ALWAYS WANTED TO GO HOME I WOULD SAY TO HER TELL ME ABOUT HOME AND SHE DID AND WAS FINE IN THAT MOMENT
2013-07-31 06:37:11 PM meister77 coloring works
2013-07-31 06:37:19 PM cchase do not scold - offer something more interesting
2013-07-31 06:37:25 PM suzanneoliver left the chat room
2013-07-31 06:37:47 PM stevemelton barbalbert: love your advice. "Tell me about home"
2013-07-31 06:37:53 PM cchase right - home is what is said because they want to feel safe
2013-07-31 06:38:01 PM meister77 I sometimes start a sudden spelling bee.
