Absolutely correct-it’s so hard to get a diagnosis-my husband & I went everywhere to get testing because it’s a process of elimination. His symptoms were just like this man-& no one believed me about what was happening-even my husband.

my ex husband has this (he is remarried ) he had all these symptoms , jumped straight up in the middle of the night out of bed scared and asking me if i saw those men after him , he would load the shot gun and put it under his chin , said he was going to kill me and the kids , my family and my Pastor did not believe me when i tried to get help ,this is the sad part , thank God he finally left , but that did not end the trouble he keep giving me, now he is dying , so sad, i will never get married again out of fear of the same thing again

My mother consistently passed mini mentals 30/30. I screamed at the assisted living facility: "Ask her to send an email. She can't. Ask her to check her voice mail. She can't. Ask her to make an appointment with her doctor. Ask her to pay a bill, address an envelope, withdraw money from an atm, arrange transportation, etc." Her personality did change-- I thought it was severe depression or apathy. Doc diagnosed her with anhedonia. There were hallucinations, delusions, for years prior. She was and is terrified of falling, and started falling years ago.nShe also has apraxia. Pervasive personality disorder (narcissism) her entire life made it difficult for me to move on any treatment-- mainly because she wouldn't let me be involved. Neuropsych test results point to Vascular Dementia with Lewy Body. She was diagnosed during COVID-19 in July 2020. It's all a nightmare.

fallling... my dad was a judo black belt and an ex paratrooper, if ANYONE knew how to 'fall' it was him. alas i used to make a midnight tour of the house and would find him in the room passed out bleeding from the head or stuck. unable to get to his feet. like a broken video game character. then we had to velcro him into the wheelchair. he would macguyver his way out but immed fall down.and land on his head. it was a horror show. evidently PSP turns you into an aggravating, pooping,peeing unable to feed yourself,NINJA. and thats not the worse part.

Wow. Great interview! I shared with my siblings. Our mother has LBD and has all this and more. She is 77 and has had symptoms since at least 2015 and was diagnosed 2 years ago. When I realized she was having cognitive issues I volunteered for ALZ to prepare myself, that is where I learned about LBD. At this point she cannot form a sentence, sleep is a chronic obstatical, she has gained weight from midnight snacking, tremors, hallucinations, incontinence, and cannot follow simple commands on bad days. She had her first full blown body tremor more than a year ago. We and the ambulance crew thought she was having a seizure. Now we just talk her through tremors. The hardest part was when she knew she was "not right in the head" and would cry. She is well beyond that so in many ways it is easier to care for her. Don's family will always have this interview as a gift to see the real him.

God bless you for your career choice. I know you are an excellent nurse because of your statement that you will be watching for this disease. I lost my beloved husband a year and a half ago. It took years before I had a diagnosis for him. It was one neurologist that took me seriously when I described the symptoms. He even said he couldn’t say for sure but he suspected DLB. He said we needed to watch as new symptoms arose to really know that in fact it was DLB. my husband started with a change of personality. He was depressed and having panic attacks. He started hearing and seeing things. He lost his sense of small was actually the first symptom. This started years before. He was getting angry too. It progressed from there. He got Parkinsonism. He started falling backwards like a log after being unsteady and using a walker. He also started periods of sleeping all day and then periods of almost manic. It was such a terrible thing to watch. He ended up getting aspiration pneumonia 3 times and he passed the third time. I is home dearly. It’s a very cruel disease and I am grateful for people like you that care enough to carefully watch for. One thing like this gentleman said is true. He had no memory loss and seemed perfectly normal at doctor appointments.

We are in Tyler too. My husband has been diagnosed with dementia, but I think it's become more apparent that he has Lewy Body Dementia - he too runs, fights, talks and yells in his sleep. He grabbed me one time at night and asked if I saw it too - someone was chasing him. As he woke up, he realized it wasn't real. My husband is only 57, so we are struggling to get disability payments, since he lost his job due to getting lost in the building and not being able to figure out how to do things anymore. The neurologists really don't seem to feel it's really important to get an exact diagnosis. He has been tested at the MARC two years in a row, so we have an idea of what is going on - the visual -perceptual is one of his low areas. He no longer drives, because he doesn't seem to have depth perception anymore. He also often cannot see things sitting right in front of him, even brightly colored things. My husband also cannot focus to read anymore really - and he was always such a reader. It's frustrating to him rather than enjoyable. He looks at the internet - short news stories - that kind of thing.

My husband is suffering with dementia/Alzheimer’s.....he has had the lengthy tests given by Neuro psychologist as well as being treated by our neurologist.....my question is concerning you having to wait so long for diagnosis.......if your wive was with you at your visits, did she not tell the doctor about all of your changes.....sleep disturbances, hallucinations, taste, personality, etc....would your diagnosis be diagnosed earlier? Just a question.......I you are so well spoken, I am impressed......my husband can barely put sentences together.......you amaze me when I compare you with my husband....he has started to display tremors I notice while eating and when we hold hands I feel his tremor...I called the doctor, as I am wondering if he has levy.....all I know is my heart is broken, daily......he also has Sundowning as well which is horrific, both of us are exhausted......I totally notice personally change about 4 o’clock...it’s amazing...there is a switch that goes on.......he becomes moody, agitated and wanders the house. He has medication to help him sleep, non narcotic, but they seem to take many hours to help him, in the meantime he can’t stop wandering, going through papers, drawers, misplacing things in the house...on and on, and I am terrified to sleep, even with alarm....it’s terrifying.......you are amazing...

It seems to be working fast on him, he just turned 73 and approx 2 years just could see his moods become different.

Hopefully by this time ( your post was a year ago$ you have gotten better answers than depression. My husband has had a VERY similar story of this disease as Don Kent. Fortunately, we are living between north central Illinois And Rochester MN. Illinois said he e having normal aging and relax. Mayo internist saw Jim for the first time and right away said. " likely Lewy" and we were having tests done within .6-10 days and seeing the neurologist within a few weeks, he confirmed the internists thoughts, started Aricept and Melatonin. Changes were noticeable fairly soon after. Not a cure by any means,but giving a kind of status quo so we can gets ducks in a row for what is coming. Try seeing someone at Mayo!

Bad decisions is the worst. He just cut the side of his finger and nail off. I asked wasn’t he supposed to use a piece of wood to push a board thru on a table saw? He said, “I know to use the tool to push thru the board but I just didn’t do it. In addition, he tried to fix a weedeater which instead of doing it on concrete safely he started on a broken down car hood and used flammable liquid to clean spark plugs or parts and somehow caught the weedeater and the car hood on fire. These arejust some of the more dangerous of his lack of ability to make good decisions. I hope this helps someone with symptoms. Please see another comment for other symptoms.

I wonder if you can have several diagnosis of dementias. My husband complains of losing smell and taste, his personality has changed drastically to never want conversation.... yes or no is sufficient, his memory is getting worse (short-term) that I know, and he has the sleep disorder of violent behavior in his sleep and throw himself out of bed karate chopping someone, or kicking, or fixing machinery etc....his sleep disorder was tested and out of 15 factors he was bad at 13. His machine could not be set high enough because there were not any higher settings to go to if it was. In addition, he goes to the bathroom a lot so he gets up at night and won’t put his mask back on. This can be a life ending thing if you quit breathing. He does have Parkinson’s. But I am thinking if there can be one diagnosis then why cant you have several dementia’s? I am sure I haven’t mentioned a lot more issues. Oh, being dizzy or losing your balance is an issue. There are are others.

Years later I was told my vision loss was psychiatric. This is genetic in my family. I had to tell me neurologist and to give her father Benadryl and morphine and three flipped out on them it. When they called me I realized it had to be connected because I was diagnosed in the death of my father but they said it was vascular but I thought it was something more. I did research a few years in advance,Because no one saw the changes in my father that I did. I actually had to explain to doctors what it actually is.

I might remember them for second or two but they’re very vague, but the dreams I do remember are usually the ones that are caused from my subconscious mind. I wake up every morning with extremely high blood pressure and very shaky.
