Anyone Else Experiencing Stress Induced Weight Gain And May Feel Like It's A Waste To Keep Trying While Caregiving?
I feel that I'm in burnout mode. Haven't been to the gym in 3 wks. Tired when that alarm goes off at 5 am to go...so i don't. Body is out of whack and the inflammation is real. Have a beautiful pool at home and at the moment i watch the grands in it...i have no energy. It's not all from caregiving...had THAT TALK with hubby this morning!!
I'm gaining weight and he is loosing it. I've always been an emotional eater. Trying to get him to eat more I find myself grazing. I can't leave him for long periods so the gym or a quiet walk is… read more
I Heard About This New ALZ Vaccine. What Is This All About?
What is it all about ? is it for our family members to cure them or is it for us the family members who could get it and have the genes predisposed to getting it and should I ask about getting it when it goes to human trials?

Do Any Of You Have Long Term Care Insurance, And If So, Do You Have Any Experience With The EB04 Form? My Ins. Carrier Is Asking For That?
My husband is on Hospice, but I will soon need to hire sitters on a regular basis, but I'm having a hard time activating the State Farm insurance that we are continuing to pay almost $2000 per year! They keep requesting "form EB04", which nobody has ever heard of! I'm so tired of trying to figure this out! Our hospice has sent them every possible form available.
Thanks again! Yes, I may have written it wrong in my notes.
I Have Early Onset Alzheimers. Are There Any Foods That Can Help, And Are There Any That Makes It Worse?
Read about KETO diet, there are claims it helps to fight Alzheimer's. It boils down to not eating carbs and instead eat all the protein you can get.
Has Anyone Heard Of The 21 Day Memory Repair Protocol Diet? If So, Has Anyone Tried It?

I was on Keto diet myself- lost 22 pounds, but Barry loves sweets and eats several bowls of cereal for his multiple breakfasts which he fixes- was having 2 eggs with marg & jam (better) but think he's… read more
Does Anyone Else’s LO Have Pain In Their Legs?
My husband has bad pain in his right leg when he walks. He grimaces and signs a lot, even when sitting. Sometimes I have to help him to the bathroom. Also, his foot swells and turns blue. I am going to call his doctor today but was wondering if anyone else’s LO has experienced this.

I have fallen arches and issues. They're a lifesaver and help my… read more
