Good Sister has started a shared doc for the whole United Sister Front to write down experiences with our mother's dementia. Naturally, I copied, pasted, and edited several entries from this here journal. GS edited some more because it was a lot of verbiage.

She also edited it because she wanted to focus on Mom's hallucinations. She and maybe our mutual Evil Sister have a new theory: Lewy body dementia. It's to some degree manageable, but not, of course, curable. People diagnosed with it tend to live for four more years, on average. My mother the replicant?

Vixy's mom had that. I don't know how she'd feel about talking about it, but...

FWIW, I have clinical neuro info on it - I'd have to check to see how much. (Though to some extent, having institutional access, I have arbitrarily large amounts - but we covered this when I was studying neuroantomy, and possible in other neuroscience courses. The first reference is always easier to pin down...)

Does your mom have Parkinson's? They almost always get Lewy Body Dementia. I had a friend with that. It didn't seem much different from a symptom point of view, but I know they use different meds for it.
