Thank you for the response. He does see a neurologist, who is a movement disorder specialist. The doc thinks it is Parkinson’s Disease with Dementia, and explained that is essentially the same as LBD, except for the timing of symptoms. I just wonder if it’s the right diagnosis.

I can understand your questioning the diagnosis, @hmt. It is always helpful to be able to put a label on a health issue like this. I'm sure you would feel better if you just knew for sure what you and your husband is dealing with.

Are there any other movement disorder specialists that he could see for a second opinion?
