Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi, I was told at Mayo LBD patients should not have anything more than Tylenol due to other medications and the way the brain/ his body reacts to that type of medication. Do you have a neurologist? He/ she should have something else. I know my husband sleeps for days and is very confused if he is in the hospital and they give him any medication for pain or sleep. Takes him weeks to come out of it. Sorry I am not much help. Good luck and God bless. Bettie -- Pain Med Hi- I am new to this group and this is my first time writing to you. My Dad, age 87, has had Lewy Body disease for more than 4 years. I think the end may be near, but you never know. Is under the wonderful care of Hospice. Dad has pain all the time, but as with LBD he is very sensitive to pain medication, etc. He was just switched off of Trilisate, because my Dad still had a lot of body pain. He stated on Neurotin yesterday morning, but he is really wiped out as a result of this medication. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what pain med works well with LBD? I want to keep my Father comfortable. Thanks, Gerry Deverell Wilmington, Delaware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 HI Gerry My MIL is on oxycontin SR 10mg once daily because of a crushed vertebrae due to osteoporosis. This is in the opioid group like morphine. This med does not cause any other problems and has worked the best for controlling her pain. We can go to twice daily if needed. Right now I give her a couple of tylenol in the afternoon to get her over the hump. Hope this helps, > Hi- > I am new to this group and this is my first time writing to you.
