Parkinson's Plus With Lewy Body
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My mom was diagnosed with parkinson's without the tremors 5 years ago. At a recent neurologist appt., the doctor said that it's not the typical Parkinson's but rather Parkinson Plus with Lewy Body. (She's rapidly losing motor abilities which was the reason for the new diagnosis.) This was the first I've ever heard of the "plus". Anyone else hear of this? Thanks.

I Am Confused As To How My Husband's Symptoms Fit Into The Norm. He Was Sent To The U Of U Movement Clinic Only Because He Had Had RBD Cont
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

cont...He had no other symptoms except the slight things his neurologist picked up on such as gait. (Family had noticed slight cognitive decline. And speech and PT detected slight balance issues that family attributed to strokes.) So all of the advice about what to do for worsening symptoms, etc doesn't seem to apply. Because thus far, none of his symptoms are at all significant. Is it possible he may only suffer from cognitive issues? Or is the worst yet to come? How many people get Lewy Body?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member

Wow! Thank you!
