I appreciate your comprehensive response.

Did your husband have a PET scan also?

If you feel comfortable in sharing, what medications is your husband on for the LBD?

@gw1997 Yes he has had PET scan and MRIs. He has Alzheimer’s as well so pretty severe mixed dementia. His Tau was .83.
Medications have been a challenge., He is very sensitive to meds.
Currently he is on Seroquil 12,5 mg morning and 25 mg at night. 3 times a day Klonopin. .125 mg
25 mg Trazadone at bedtime.
And for the ALZ/Lewy Body
Galantimine 8 mg twice a day.
He has periods of agitation during the day and the aids and nurses are very careful about agitating him.
It’s been a journey.
I hope this is helpful. I’m so sorry for him and all of us.
