Question,cmac.How many years have you worked in caring for the elderly,& with people who have Alzheimer's? Do you educate yourself on your own?Have you talked with other cargivers who live with AD 24/7? I have 30+years under my belt,& do know a few things contrary to what you think. Me? Bitter? Mo way Jose'.SnowyLynne
I don't see cmac, and you won't either, Lynne, if you click on the "thumbs down" button at the right side of their post box.
I'd also like to echo your comments about updating the group on things which were found or treatments which were tried. Giving us feedback encourages us to help more in the future. We don't bite
Sorry to highjack this thread,but can you please explain to me what you mean by cmac? And what will happen when you click on the thumbs down sighn? I was too scared to try it incase I did somthing I shouldn't lol. It's probably realy simple but I am afraid I don't have a clue.
Thought I would bump this one back up for us to share ideas and such as Snowy suggessted It helps to exchange info and caregiving ideas IMO Contribute today to support Healing Well Forums...Donate @

Can I join and share. I'm sick of Parkinsons Disease but I'm working as an administrator in the residential care facility for the elderly and we have Alzheimers residents from the first stage to the end stage. My experience might help... minmark
Thanks, as a caregiver and administrator at the same as a patient too I hope I could help. I had Parkinson's Disease when I was 37, now I'm 54 but still working full time. The key, I remain active physically and mentally and what is important is the right attitude. I'm always positive in life.

Help...I goofed! I was reading in one of the posts that when clicking on the thumbs down icon, that message would disappear. I was curious....another downfall, so I clicked on "snowylyne" (now I can't remember the spelling) and she disappeared completely!!! I didn't want that!! How do I get her back?? Anyone know how to undo a dumb dumb mistake like that?? LELike my screen name.....I have survived so much and aim to thrive from all the experiences I have had. It must be possible and I will never stop trying!
I did that once, too! I don't know if there is any connection, but I found that I hadn't logged myself out, either. Once I'd gone back into the system and done that, the first problem seems to have corrected itself. Now that I've written that, it doesn't make sense. Hope someone else can come up with the answer. Mary
your advice, unfortunately, did not allow me to get "snowylyne" back onto the threads. I made her disappear!! I am so sad. That should teach me to act on my technological curiosities! Anyone else know what I can do to bring her back??? LE (Linda)Like my screen name.....I have survived so much and aim to thrive from all the experiences I have had. It must be possible and I will never stop trying! Alzheimer's caregiver, loss of parents, diagnoses of anxiety/panic disorder, agorophobia, chronic depression, PTSD, and some rather pesky physical ailments.
