[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP! When my husband and I were in our mid thirties, we were dealing with my father's decline due to lewy body dementia, and I was having some significant medical issues myself . So we weren't being sandwiched---we were just dealing with issues that most don't have to deal with until they are older (parental health, personal health). Children couldn't happen at the time for us (medical issues made it impossible).  My father died, and now we have my mom.  We have a lovely child now...and I hate to say this, but I am so burnt out from parental caregiving that I get really angry at having to take care of my mom.  I am so burnt out after my father's situation while trying to manage my own health that I just want to enjoy being a mom.  [/quote]

My Mother in Law's doctor suspects' Lewy Body Dementia and her faculties are declining fast. PP -  Did you find that things got bad fast with Lewy Body?[/quote]

I am so sorry I never responded...I am the poster of this message about LBD.  I am sorry about your MIL.  Yes things did decline pretty quickly. Be careful that Haldol is not prescribed--that's fine for alzheimer's but not LBD--and many medical professionals are not aware of this critical piece.[/quote]
