Tremors can be common for people living with MS.

There’s no single approach to managing tremors. No one way works for everyone.

So it’s important to try different things to find what works for you. 🧡

There are lots of strategies that could help. Including physiotherapy, drug treatments or surgery.

Did you know there are many different types of dementia?

Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies are four of the most common forms of dementia, and they can all affect people differently.

This is our guide to a few of the most common symptoms for each illness.

Dementia looks different for everyone, so a person’s symptoms may not look exactly as they are described here.

However by knowing the signs, we can make sure that we don’t brush off or ignore some of these lesser-known symptoms, to help everyone with dementia get a crucial early diagnosis.

Save this post for later, and if you’d like more info visit our website or give our Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456.

Bonus tip: telling people about a dementia diagnosis can be overwhelming, but sharing our 'Living with dementia' guide with a friend is a great way to open up the conversation about dementia. 💙

It combines practical and emotional advice, life hacks, information and top tips from our specialist dementia nurses. Download a copy here: https://www.dementiauk.org/we-live-with-dementia/sign-up-for-your-free-living-with-dementia-guide/?utm_campaign=wlwd26&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social

Today is parent mental health day 👩‍👧‍👦

Today's importance is to raise awareness of the vital link between parents’ and carers’ mental health and the wellbeing of the whole family 👪

If a parent or carer is struggling with poor mental health, this can affect not only the parent or carer themselves, but also the rest of the family 👨‍👩‍👧

Here are some ideas of how you can celebrate Parent’s Mental Health Day:

Make time for a self-care day or evening, where you can enjoy your favourite hobbies and relaxing activities 😌

Take a mindful walk and reflect on all you’ve accomplished, how you’re feeling, and what more you could do to support yourself 🚶🏻‍♀️

Connect with family and friends by eating a nutritious meal together, or simply meeting up for a cup of tea and a chat ☕

Create an appreciation jar and encourage family members to write down what they’re grateful for and place them in the jar 🫙

Take the opportunity to initiate open conversations about mental health with your family, making space to listen and share without judgement 🗣

Organise a digital detox challenge where you take time away from screens (apart from any necessities) 📵

If you or someone you know if struggling with their mental health support can be found at: https://stem4.org.uk/pmhd/

None of us are built to have a 'constant' setting. Some days we may have the energy to feel upbeat and happy, other days, we might just need to let the curve be what it is. And every day looks different because we are human, not robots. It’s important we give ourselves permission to exist anywhere on that spectrum.

If you're finding that you're having more bad days than good, head to our website. There you’ll be able to find advice, information and services that could help.

An estimated 50% of patients worldwide do not take their medications as prescribed. This can be for several reasons such as poor mobility, weather conditions or finances but means they are missing essential medications which could make them more poorly or their health condition worse.
