He...My grandfather is at the end stage of is life. He was diganosed with LBD about 5 years ago. We were told it was a cross between Parkinsons and Alzheimers. He only had Parkinsons syptoms (shaking and trembling) while on SEVERAL medications. He went into the hospital in May and was taken off all of the meds. His mind and movements became MUCH more calm and reasonable...He is in the stages of dying now. In the past week he has become very week and has been bed ridden for about 36 hours. His speech is ver quiet and weak when he does speak. He has stopped breathing several times for a minute at a time and then regained his breath. He actually talked to us today and even cracked a joked! There is much to be learned about LBD. It is real and serious. DO NOT over MEDICATE someone with this. I learned that! Hallicination are nothing compared to what those "anti-depressant" pills do!!!! LBD can be better than what we experienced..Keep the meds low and loved ones near...The best medicine ever~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103404033723453891.post-66202003405915833192008-05-27T10:16:00.000-04:002008-05-27T10:16:00.000-04:00"I tend to describe Lewy Body Dementia as somethin..."I tend to describe Lewy Body Dementia as something like a cross between Parkinson's and Alzheimer's only with less memory loss and more hallucinations."<BR/><BR/>Good description. I would agree with that entirely. I'm curious about being diagnosed without the hallucinations...What was it that separated him out from Alzheimer's without them to the doctor?<BR/><BR/>I feel so bad for John. (and you Pam) Loosing himself must be terribly frightening...way beyond the confusion part.<BR/><BR/>MarcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
