neuroleptic sensitivity

[Guest guest]

My 82 year old mother's doctor recently told me that she thinks that

my mother might have Lewy Body Disease. She seems to have many of the

symptoms. She started with the physical symptoms of Parkinson's. She

shuffled and stooped over, leaned to the right, had frozen movements

etc. She has now pretty much lost the ability to walk even with a

walker. Mentally, she has been declining very rapidly over the last

few months and has had a few visual haculinations. Unfortunately, her

doctor has been ill the last few months so we have been a little in

the dark. What exactly is neuroleptic sensitivity?

In September, the Parkinson's symptoms had gotten worse and the

neurologist put her on Sinemet. I had to take her to the emergency

room because she couldn't stay awake. It was then concluded that it

was a reaction to the Sinemet.

Would appreciate input. Help.

Thanks,

Barb
