[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad does this. He has Parkinsons and it a side effect of one of his meds. He also gets hallucinations from the meds as well when he's awake. He knows they are hallucinations and they don't frighten him. The hand movements at night, while odd, do not impact his sleep from what we can tell. The doctor said the benefit of the meds outweighs the hallucinations and that he doesn't want to change the meds unless the hallucinations begin to bother my dad. [/quote] This sounds like Lewy bodies disease. [/quote] Maybe, but generally only if early in the course of the disease. It is common in late stage Parkinson’s. [/quote] Yes my dad is in late stage Parkinson's. He was diagnosed 13 years ago,but only in the last year has the cognitive decline started. [/quote]
