Hello, I'm Greg Jenna and good news, Your Dead to Me is back for a new series. Here we go. Yes, we'll explore Emperor Nero's notorious reign with Professor Marybeard and Patton Oswald. I would not want my daughter having the remote control, not alone an empire. We'll dissect the decadent life of Philippe Duke-Dor-Leon with Tom Allen. I've often tried to pretend I'm an aristocrat and being very quickly knocked down. And there'll be so much more with comedians like Olga Koch, Mike Mosniak and Rihalina. I'm excited. You're dead to me, the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Listen first on BBC Sounds. You're about to listen to Inside Health with me, James Gallagher. If you haven't already, you can download the BBC Sounds app to listen to Inside Health

seven days before it's available on other podcast platforms.

Once you're there, you'll find even more podcasts that are available on sounds before anywhere else.

Hello there, this week we're turning the program over to you and answering your questions about dementia.

Loads of you got in touch last series after our episode about the new drugs that slow the pace of Alzheimer's disease and why they're not available on the NHS.

While Professor Tara Spires-Jones, who is the Director of the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, is going to help us out and answer all of your questions. So welcome back, Tara.

I will do my best.

Well, we're going to start with Chris, whose mom had dementia after a brain injury.

There's also a family history of vascular dementia there.

And she sent us some words of advice for having a relationship with people who have dementia.

Concentrate on what they can do or what they like. Knowledge locked away means pressing the right buttons to open up in to

bring information to the surface.

A sense of humour need not be damaged by a renmenture.

Make them laugh. Remind them of stories they told you in the past.

Don't worry about word loss. Recognition is enough.

My aunt would always smile and say, oh it's you. That's all you need. Remember, judgment and skills remain. One relative was able to hang pictures on a wall, placing them correctly with a little help.

Another continued to do quite difficult crosswords with her niece. A taste of normality's

confidence, broadly. Thanks for sending that in, Chris. Tar. crosswords with Farnese, a taste of normality's confidence building.

Thanks for sending that in, Chris.

Tara, I think that's such a good reminder that life doesn't stop when you get a dementia
