My mother's neurologist...

[Guest guest]

My mother's neurologist emailed me yesterday and there's another

neurologist who is finishing up his residency and wants to write his

paper on my mother and another woman who had LBD and had the rapid

decline like my mom. I agreed to participate (as long as my mother

stays anonymous.)

Who would have thought?

My goal was to help just one family not have to go through what we went

through (which was the rapidity of the disease - in my opinion due to

Risperidone.) I think I've reached and went beyond that goal from my

continuing to be on this board, by my becoming a LBDA volunteer (as a

community awareness volunteer + support group facilitator + the Q & A

session w/ Dr. Gomperts, etc.)

NOW to have my mother's story told in a neurologist's paper... Imagine

all the medical persons who will be reading that paper? All those in

training to be neurologists? (Since mom's neurologist is also a

professor at Harvard.) The word is getting out!
