In our most diverse article excerpts for caregivers and people with dementia – Viagra may delay Alzheimer’s, a guide for introverts, coping through the dark times with Norway’s koselig, and Medicare Advantage benefits for 2022.
Expanded Medicare Advantage Supplemental Benefits for 2022
“The findings show that… supplemental benefit offerings in Medicare Advantage – such as home-based palliative care, in-home support services, caregiver support and therapeutic massage – all increased for the upcoming year.” “The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said in late September that the average premium for Medicare Advantage plans will be lower in 2022 at $19 per month, compared with $21.22 in 2021. However, Part D coverage is rising to $33 per month, compared with $31.47 in 2021.”
Thriving through Winter’s Darkness
Norwegians have long survived long-dark-and-cold winters with koselig. With rising threats of the contagious Omicron virus and flu season upon us, many are feeling exhausted from these waves of COVID-related uncertainty. Norwegians have learned to survive through annual periods of darkness. We can learn something from them and adopt their koselig (pronounced “ko’shlee”) mindset. Loosely translated, it means connected coziness.
Viagra Use Could Reduce Alzheimer’s Risk by 70 Percent
“The drug was found to increase brain cell growth.” Pfizer, who also markets the Alzheimer’s drug Aricept (generic: donepezil hydrochloride), has cornered the market for COVID treatment in the U.S. Now, it is expanding [pun intended] its popular blue pill for ED.

An Introvert’s Guide to Small Talk
Introverts dislike small talk. Contrary to popular belief they are not averse to conversation. It seems, they like to have deeper and more authentic conversations. However, as this article notes, they need to get through that initial awkwardness filled with small talk before getting into the deeper topics. This article also warns introverts who might find themselves engaged in a topic of interest.
Thank you for this article. It reminds me of my worst life experience when I took care of my grandmother faced with Alzheimer’s disease. This was emotionally draining because I wished I could take her pains away. I watched my grandmother gradually lose to Alzheimer’s disease. When she stepped out for exercise, she couldn’t find her way back home. On several occasions, neighbors helped return her home and some days; we had to call 911 for a search mission. We couldn’t find help and we lost her. It still breaks my heart to think of all the pains she went through and all battles with her OTC medications which couldn’t slow down her memory loss progression or cure the disease, but had terrible side effects on her health. Losing my grandmother to Alzheimer’s disease wasn’t a pleasant experience. When my Uncle had the same fate, I sought an alternative from OTC medications. In search of natural medicine that could help him, I read blogs and followed comments which mentioned Dr. Fredrick treatment through GANZINO-SANA HERBAL MEDICINE. I did not hesitate to make the choice, because I knew what my grandmother went through with Alzheimer’s disease. He began the treatment without delay and, in 2 months of use; the result was excellent memory recovery! Here is the blog I found help [The Caregiver’s Voice removed the URL and Email provided by Alex as it leads to a website with one page (c)2019 and no substantive nor current information.]
