22.01.2022 "Your personality goes. Your judgement goes. The man I married has gone." Life has never been the same since Urvashi's husband, Bhupendra, was diagnosed with fr...ontotemporal dementia (FTD). This lesser known form of dementia is caused by loss of brain cells that primarily regulate behaviour and personality. This #FTDAwarenessWeek we're sharing vital info and research around this rarer form of dementia, which affects 1 in 20 people like Bhupendra. Share this post to raise awareness with us. https://www.alzheimersresearchuk.org//frontotemporal-deme/

20.01.2022 Legal professions having direct info on dementia would be good.

20.01.2022 Relationships change with the diagnosis of dementia. As the disease progresses the family member becomes increasingly a carer. The carer has to maintain connections with family and friends but the carer and caree can become isolated. The conference opens an avenue of support.

19.01.2022 A brain map. One can understand the complexity of the brain and it's control of body and behaviour.

19.01.2022 Do you know this lady? She was found at Mooloolah Valley, confused and non verbal. Taken to Nambour Hospital. Transferred to SCU Hospital. Please let police know. Her carer may be ill, injured or worse.

12.01.2022 Today the SC Dementia Network held a Catch-Up Cuppa at the Nambour RSL for Dementia Month. There were 8 of us and we had a "lovely time" quoted by Ken. The Dementia world can be challenging so it is lovely to share the tears and laughter with others who understand.

11.01.2022 The power of music.

11.01.2022 Catch-up Cuppa, 12th November was enjoyable and discussion flowed. Who is a local GP who is understanding in dementia and the carer? Who is a good massager for carers? People with dementia and carers came from Caloundra, Marcoola, Maroochydore, Buderim, Mapleton and Nambour.

03.01.2022 This #WorldAlzheimersDay were challenging misconceptions. Dementia is not an inevitable part of ageing, it is caused by diseases, most commonly Alzheimer's. Th...e damage caused by Alzheimer’s can leave a brain weighing 140g less than a healthy one - that’s about the weight of an orange. These are physical processes that research can slow, or even stop. #ShareTheOrange to spread hope and understanding, that a breakthrough is possible.
