#Lewybody Disease Often Mistaken 4 Alzs.

My mother has Lewy Body Dementia, and it was a long road - and a nearly deadly one - to her diagnosis. Doctors don't know, and in my mom's case it was a doctor's "all dementias are alike" belief, in spite of my arguments, that nearly killed her. I am thankful that she recovered to a degree, as many do not. But it is essential that LBD is correctly diagnosed and treated, as this article points out...because drugs commonly used in other dementias can severely harm or even be fatal to an LBD sufferer...
