A Good Description of Lewy Body Dementia

(If you click on the title of this post it should take you to the article.)
This is what my mom has. I've discussed it here before. And these are her symptoms, pretty much. She is just at the very beginning of possibly showing signs of parkinsonism, and is developing the "lewy lean" while walking as well as sitting.

This article was shared by the owner of the Lewy Body support group on yahoogroups. If you have a loved one that has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's that exhibits these symptoms, please find a "lewy-savvy" neurologist to re-evaluate them. If indeed LBD is diagnosed, there are often ways to manage their symptoms and increase their quality of life. Plus, an accurate diagnosis is important in keeping them from being injured, or dying, from getting the wrong meds.

Getting a proper diagnosis and a good solid med regimen, as well as the work that the nursing home has done - and is doing - with her on a daily basis, has literally given my mother back to me. I've had 2 years so far that I wouldn't have had, had I settled for the doctor's "all dementias are the same, you're wasting your time going to a specialist, he'll tell you the same thing!" statement.
