This episode of A Balancing Act tackles the "whiplash" of sudden ups and downs in dementia caregiving. Why abilities seem to flicker day to day, when a sudden change warrants a call to the doctor, and how to become a detective when there's no clear medical cause. Kelly offers practical ways to respond with curiosity and flexibility instead of fear when a loved one's condition unexpectedly shifts.FACEBOOK PAGE: Please leave questions for Kelly, or set up a chat!https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573800764103Please consider donating to support A BALANCING ACT!https://buymeacoffee.com/navigatingmemorylossRESOURCES:https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/dementia/living-with-dementia/behaviour/https://theconversation.com/why-is-my-loved-one-with-dementia-sometimes-there-and-sometimes-not-200439The information shared in this podcast is for EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES only, and should not be considered a substitute for medical advice.
