Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Well this doctor said that he did not have Parkinsons but had Lewey Bodyish symptoms plus shy drager because of the hypotention..He is sticking with both of these symptoms..He is going to review all paper work and has not ruled out NPH...however he is concerned about the hallucinations which means LBD...and Shy Drager symptoms as well...he definately found frontal lobe deterioration,memory loss and cognitive loss..we are going to hear from him again in 2 weeks after he reviews the paper work...I am amazed at all the areas of the country that are affected...sounds like you have a big project..I am also renovating our home in case I have to make a sudden sale...it all tumbles down on us at once...
