3 main LBD symptoms

[Guest guest]

I have read that these 3 symptoms are what separate LBD from PD and

Alzheimer's: 1. patients have detailed and vivid Hallucinations early in the

disease. 2. people with LBD show marked fluctuations in their cognitive

functioning- sometimes referred to as 'good days' 'bad days'. 3. Lbd has

EDS(excessive daytime sleeping) and have restless, disturbed sleep w/

behavioral acting out, at night. How important is it to have these symptoms to

have LBD? Can you caregivers out there tell me if that is what you experience

with your LO ? Is my wife's doctor missing something ? She hasn't had

hallucinations, doesn't have good days and then bad days, and she sleeps like

a log at night. She has cognitive problems, walking problems, and had delusions

with paranoia. She has never had those 3 main symptoms. She is on various meds

and they gave her ECT in the hospital for psychotic depression before he came up

with possible LBD?? Anyone know if ECT can damage your brain? The video they

will show you makes it sound harmless and a slam dunk cure for serious

depression. Any thoughts would be helpful. .........gary (wife Kay-age 59-
