Can Mayo Clinic give us more assistance than the doctors here, in the Palm Springs area? The information about this disease of Lewy Body has to better & more experienced than what he receives at Desert Oasis Medical. He was diagnosed March 2018.
My husband, "Semaja" has been spiraling downward with his movements and walking. He's in pain as soon as he stands-up and tries to move his legs/feet.
No one has mentioned or discussed his fall in 1991.... might have led to this disease.
It's only recently that one hears about this disease. People didn't discuss @Robin Williams death was a combination of Lewy Bodies and Parkinson. Now, @ted Turner announced that he has them, also.

Try Lida.org. Lewy body dementia Assoc It’s a wonderful resource. I hope it helps
My husband had Parkinson's and probably Lewy Body disease before he died. If there's anything you want to ask me about my experiences as his caregiver, feel free to do so.
