The cognitive patch I use is rivastigmine . Works very well for me with no noticeable side effects.
I could drown in melancholy, if not for my hobbies and positive mind set. I live my days as if nothing is wrong with me. Lewy body will take over every aspect of your life if you give it the lead.
I’m having a muscle spasm- must be Lewy. Leg tremors- must be Lewy, etc, etc to infinity.
I’m not saying that you should go singing and skipping in the woods while wearing flowers in your hair 24/7, just realize not every twitch or sniffle is caused by Lewy body. Regards, Ashley

Solid words of advice, I will work at turning it into wisdom for myself.
You are so right about hobbies we’ve discussed.
Today I planted a fig tree, fertilized the blackberries then went to my shop and pulled an old bench top drill press off the shelf that belonged to great grandfather.
It’s time to restore it.
Thanks for the info regarding patch.
Something I heard the other day that suited me well;
“ In the morning I try to get god in my head before I do”
Truth for me,
Talk later
