Re: Re: funny, I thought - Hallies

Hello All,

Just a thought. My Uncle " saw " a whole plethora of people/animals, etc., to

the point of distraction and when we took him off all meds, including Sinemet,

(the drug that I believe makes the hallucinations worse as the disease

progresses), the " people/animals, etc. " have subsided quite a bit. Now, he just

talks/jestures to them in his sleep and says that " they " are not up when he is

awake. Very interesting.

Peaceful days to all, Stevie

My dad thinks there's a whole crowd of other people living in his

house! I couldn't understand him at first because some days I'd go to

see him - he lives (lived) alone - and he'd say something like " it's

been quiet today, you'd think no one else lived here " .... hmmmm ....

well ....... they don't. Then realised there was a virtual bus load

of people he was seeing around. That's fine ..... maybe they kept him

company. The problem was when he started leaving his front door open

so they could get in and out OK
