Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 When my mother was still walking with her walker she expressed the difficulty dealing with crowds, the fear of falling, too confusing. She stopped going to church, stores, and really started monitoring situations she felt comfortable in. , Oakville Ont. Mom 92, 12 1/2 years " Parkinsons " 3 1/2 years ago LBD diagnosis, evident much longer in hindsight. Encouraged to give up her licence 6 years ago. Currently immobile, in tilt wheelchair, spoonfed pureed food. Spends most of days behind closed eyes. Eltroxin, Tylenol 500 mg 3-4 times a day Off Aricept since Feb./06 > > I have been looking at pictures of family gatherings, and I notice that when we have a group of people around him, he has this strange, almost fearful look on his face. When I am alone with him, he is very relaxed and calm. The difference is striking. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this and might suggest an explanation. > > wife to Fred, 67, dx 2005, LBD, stable condition, diabetes type 2, stroke, 6/2005 > mother to Angie, 35, Rett syndrome, a severe neurological disorder > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
