Hello everyone,

My mother was officially diagnosed about two years ago with LBD, but was showing

signs for about four (4) years. She is really having a difficult time with

energy. She is always so tired that she can hardly walk across the floor without

needing to sit. I don't know if this is part of LBD or something else.  I make

sure she takes her medication that will make her sleepy at night. She has been

like this for about  three weeks. This past Sunday it was like the movie

Awakening. She woke up completely like her old self. Then about four hours

later, she was in bed. This past October she was walking about two (2) miles a

day.

As I have read all your emails, I see that everything can change very quickly.

My mother is becoming very depressed at her loss of ability to get up and move

around. Does anyone know if there is something that can help? I thought about

taking her to the YMCA for some water exercise; of course I would be with her.

Does anything like this work?

She can become very confused and it is difficult for her to find the words she

wants to say, but for the most part, she is very aware of her decline. When

things affect her emotionally like this, I find it hard to think of anything

else. I keep searching and searching for ways to help.

I would really appreciate it if you might have some suggestions.

Thanks for being there and willing to share your knowledge and experience.

Robin,

And others, if you find things changing dramatically, I would sure check and see

if she has a UTI. But she also may need to have her meds changed. She may be

on to many or to much. That changes over time too.

Just my thoughts.

Hugs, and Happy New Year everyone.

died in '02. No dx other

than mine.

Sharon,

Thanks for that perspective from the 'LBDer'. Caregivers and LOs don't have

that perspective and I think that will help everyone to keep their LOs

calmer...after all, isn't it stress that makes the confusion worse?

God bless everyone on this forum,

Hugs and prayers,

Joan

thanks for your help, I have seen others talking about the UTI, but I had not

thought about it. Do you happen to know how having a UTI would impact these

types of symptoms?

Hello Robin,

Any type of infection and or fever will have a greater effect on the LBD LO. So

even if you don't realize at first that your LO is ill, the first signs may well

be all the things you have written about. Also have her blood pressure checked

on a regular basis. Extreme LOW blood pressure is also a part of the LBD sym.

About 2 1/2 years ago my husband was having many of the sym. you describe and I

took him to the Dr. His blood pressure was 58/38 and the medical personal about

came unglued (to say the least). Now his bp had always been low (aroung 90/60)

his whole life, so that is why he was still able to walk with a walker that day.

But remember that low blood pressure can be a problem,and it gets even LOWER

when they stand up. My husband was on meds to keep his bp up for the rest of

his life. He passed away 11/27/09. Also, LBD LO will often get dehydrated

easily, and you will see some of the same sym. Hope this helps some. Hang in

there and know that you can only take care of your LO if you are in good health,

so also take some time for you.

Sherry,

Thank you so much. Mom does have low blood pressure and has been on meds for

awhile for that. She was recently taken off, but we must get a BP cuff to watch

it. I was just at her house and was telling her about the UTI comments and she

told me of some symptoms that she was having. We are going to check with her

doctor next week. It is so nice to have a place to ask questions and know there

are people who have, or are, experiencing the same thing.

You are right, in order to help our LO, we must remain healthy ourselves. I am

finding it more and more difficult to keep it together, but there are so many

other things in our lives. They say God will not give you more than you can

handle! He is challenging me!.

Thanks again,

Robin

robin good you may talk to your doctor about givng you what is called a

standing order to test for uti since this is the most common infection that

lbders get that way u can go to your lab and have one done as soon as u suspect

it and get it treated sooner that is what i have because i have chronic kidney

infections hugs sharon

with energy. She is always so tired that she can hardly walk across the floor

without needing to sit. I don't know if this is part of LBD or something

else.� I make sure she takes her medication that will make her sleepy at

night. She has been like this for about��three weeks. This past Sunday it

was like the movie Awakening. She woke up completely like her old self. Then

about four hours later, she was in bed. This past October she was walking about

two (2) miles a day.

>>> As I have read all your emails, I see that everything can change very

quickly. My mother is becoming very depressed at her loss of ability to get up

and move around. Does anyone know if there is something that can help? I thought

about taking her to the YMCA for some water exercise;�of course I would be

with her. Does anything like this work?

>>> She can become very confused and it is difficult for her to find the words

she wants to say, but for the most part, she is very aware of her decline. When

things affect her emotionally like this, I find it hard to think of anything

else. I keep searching and searching for ways to help.

>>> I would really appreciate it if you might have some suggestions.

>>> Thanks for being there and willing to share your knowledge and experience.
