I do. I'm not sure that it makes any difference though.You need to take care of yourself too Liz. Are you taking progesterone?
I really feel for you Liz. It is hard enough watching a parent decline, someone that you looked up to, but watching your partner’s decline takes an emotional toll in a very different way, and the physical demands on top of that is almost more that you think you can bear. You are both not the same people through the process. I lost my husband last year so I have a glimps of the mental and physical exhaustion you are going through. When you get through this fire you will see what you are really made of. Ask for help Liz, from family and friends, I finally did, despite my husband not wanting me too. I don’t have any regrets about that. I feel like this thread should be more about you as the caretaker, and how to get you through all of this. They say it takes a village to raise a child and it is the same with older family members. The sleep deprivation I went through those 3 months before my husband unexpectedly died was a torture of it’s own.I do. I'm not sure that it makes any difference though.
When looking online for info about Lewy Body dementia, I see that it is frequently mentioned with Parkinson's Disease as if there is some overlap. Many (all?) types of dementia are tied in with thiamine deficiency and/or thiamine functional blockage. Overactive bladder is also thought to be caused by thiamine deficiency. The autonomic nervous system needs thiamine to work properly. Dr. Costantini of Italy successfully treated thousands of Parkinson's Disease patients with high dose thiamine hcl.Over active bladder for years
He knew he had dementia and went to tell his GP. Tests followed:-Hi @Lizb,
Would you mind sharing some information on LBD? Hows was it diagnosed? Was there any specific test or exam that helped come to that diagnosis or was it solely clinical and based on symptoms? What is the list of medications that have been prescribed and tried for the neurological/cognitive/mental issues? Thank you.
These neurodegenerative diseases are really terrible. and good treatments lacking.
Wish you the best,

My heart goes out to you. My father suffered from incapacitating Alzheimer's for five years before his death. The decision to get nursing staff for the night was the right decision for me because my own health deteriorated from the lack of sleep. I could not have survived without the night time reprieve.
This is an awful thought Liz. I never heard this before, but I believe it.I'm sorry to hear that.
I know that those looking after their loved ones full time have an over 50% likihood of dying before the dementia sufferer.
I did try thiamine early on. It stopped the shaky movement but only for one night. I haven't been able to repeat the success.
I know how my body feels and it's not good. I'm working on getting the right level of care in for me to recover. It's all very sad.
According to Dr. Costantini, the ability for thiamine to resolve the shaking is most successful in the very early stages of Parkinson's Disease. But the other things that thiamine does still work later in the disease. I think that you would find his information provided on his website helpful.I did try thiamine early on.

Exhaustion takes its tole. Thiamine would be helpful for you too.I know how my body feels and it's not good. I'm working on getting the right level of care in for me to recover. It's all very sad.
