Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hi everyone, I just joined this group, and am very happy that I found you. We moved my father in with us this past September. He has been diagnosed with LBD for almost five years, but it is only in the past year that it has gotten significantly worse. Sometimes it's difficult to judge where he is for the day because he doesn't speak much (normally a reserved person, LBD seems to have magnified this aspect of his personality). The alarming aspect of this disease for me is his weight loss. In the past year, he has lost 15lbs. However, this weight loss seems to have significantly accelerated. Although my father eats VERY well (believe me, you would be astounded at how much the man can pack away) he is currently losing about 1 - 1.5lbs per week. I didn't think this would happen until the late stages, and I thought the late stages had other issues that I have yet to see. Has anyone else dealt with weight loss issues? I cannot seem to find any information online. Thanks so much, and all of you are in my heart, In Peace, Narielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
