About Living With Lewy's And The Authors:
Caregivers Amy and Jerry Throop have been caring for Amy’s mother, one of the 1,500,000 victims nationwide suffering from Dementia With Lewy Bodies, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for eleven years. The couple knows how difficult it is to cope in a caregiving situation without adequate information. They tell us, “Eleven years ago, the only information available to us about Dementia With Lewy Bodies, was three paragraphs in a book about Alzheimer’s. Living in darkness, lacking helpful-factual information about the disease is almost as bad as the disease itself.”
Amy says, “We decided no family should have to endure what we have. We’ve spent the last six years writing and researching the book, Living With Lewy’s; Empowering Today’s Dementia Caregiver, which is about living with the illness, not dying.”
Dr. Carol F. Lippa, M.D., Professor of Neurology and Director of the Memory Disorders Program and Dementia Research Laboratory at Drexel University College of Medicine says the book is the first of its kind devoted to Dementia With Lewy Bodies and it’s the single best text of its kind in print anywhere. Dr. Lippa also says, referring to Living With Lewy’s, a patient and family can either embrace denial and live day-by-day enduring the inevitable crises, or they can be proactive and learn as much as possible about the illness to minimize problematic symptoms, maximize quality of life for everyone involved, and plan for the future. The proactive approach is far better and less stressful over time. Dr. Lippa says that neurologists, geriatricians, psychiatrists, primary care physicians, and nurses who care for patients with Lewy’s Disease will also find this text invaluable as a resource and as recommended material for their patients and caregivers.
Living With Lewy’s explores the specific disabilities Lewy’s Disease patients have such as cognitive, psychiatric, and physical symptoms and the fact that they and their caregivers are especially challenged by a 30% to 50% misdiagnosis rate. Further, the book warns about medications that can kill or make the condition worse and explains about medications that can help. The book also says that many patients can show remarkable improvement with comprehensive care and treatment.
In their book, the Throops share their caregiving methods and that of other caregivers and professionals, in the hope of making life less stressful, safer, and better for caregivers and their loved ones. The book will be empowering to all caregivers, no matter the illness, because they all share common problems including, where to find low or no cost support systems, caregiver health, safety issues, legal and financial concerns and how to respond in emergency situations. It contains comprehensive-detailed family friendly information for America’s 52 million family caregivers.
