Death by dementia
After I read the alarming statistic that the death rate from dementia increased 47%. I decided that people need to know the jouney a person with dementia and his caregiver network have.
I am going to do this journey backwards.
People who are diagnosed with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease Frontotemporal Lobe Dementia(FTD), multi-infarct dementia, vasular dementia, Lewy Body Dementia as well as a few others, live from 2 months to 20 years with the disease dependikng on many factors.
Often a catostrphic event hastens the decline of a person with dementia.
Frequently a person has a combinatioon of dementias which makes treating it ever so difficult
So join me on this journey which will have some happy moments and many not so happy moments
Come back tomorrow.

I’ve already learned something new. I, also, did not know there were different forms of dementia. I just thought it progressed. Susan, are there any drugs, now, that actually help?
