Lewy Body Disease: a cruel short prognosis

My stepfather had it. He lived a lot longer than the 2 years we were told was likely - 5 or 6 years, but that is very uncommon, apparently, and the last 2 were in a care home, as by then he needed full time care.

You have my sympathy, Andrealynne. It is a cruel disease, and just as cruel to the loved ones of those who have it. I hope your husband gets the care he needs and that you can make some time and care for you, too.

My mum had this, it is horrendous; I’m so sorry you and your husband are going through this. Big hug to you, I hope you have family and friends to lean on.

DH's brother has Lewy Bodies but thankfully is not too bad at the moment.

My lovely sister in law copes well at the moment.

My aunt died with Lewy body dementia and suffered for over 10 years. It was awful to see and I hope you can find others with more knowledge than me.
The extreme agitation caused by the hallucinations meant she had to be sedated as she could become violent. It was no life.
I am so sorry you are both going through this.
