"Because i have had sleep problems for many years" (maryemcg)

MDJunction to me

Sylvia4648"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

Hi and welcome, I am really sorry to hear that your husband has dementia, but I hope that the posts are helpful, if you have any questions of your own feel free to ask. Dementia is a little different for everyone, but there are a lot of things that several of us run into, or things that work for one family may be able to be adapted a bit for another.

Again, welcome to the group.

Not a medical professional...just another patient with my own set of experiences to share.
