Re: LBD vs Alzheimers. OT

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna,

Your Mom saying she knew how to fall reminded me of my baby brother.

He was about 3 years old, I am sure he wasn't 4 yet. Mama would tell the

Kids to watch him. After all, we lived next to a canal. Two different times

he was found in the water holding a rope at the end of the dock. After

reaming the kids out, she told my brother, " don't you know that when you

fall over board like that you could get cut up on oyster, or drown? " He said

" Don't worry, Mama, I watch where I fall. "

Love a lot,

Imogene

tony,

I wouldn't leave the group to soon.. I would question if this MD knows

what he is talking about. My Mom had the Alzheimers diagnosis too. I had to

find out for myself she didn't.

Is she falling at all? I didn't even know Mom was falling except for

once, but it appears she had lots of falls. On one occasion she said to me, " I

know how to fall. " and she did. She meant so she wouldn't get hurt.

That really surprised me. There are many who don't even know what LBD is and

the thing that makes me wonder is the B 12 shot. That is an old remedy

that is real questionably. It doesn't hurt anything. And you can try

Aricept. My Mom couldn't even tolerate that.

The med intolerance is another indicator of LBD.

If you go into our files in the recent Welcome email sent out, I

think she has a whole section on LBD and how it can be found. I will see

if I can find my saved articles that might throw some light on it for you

I found a Neurologist just like that and he nearly destroyed Mom with meds.

Just my opinion. Who indicated it was LBD?

Hugs,

Donna R
