I believe my mother died from LBD. She passed in October 2006. As both she and my sister lived in Florida and I was living in New England, my sister found 2 or three Nursing Homes for her. Every time she was given medication, she became worse. She would bite, kick, scream etc. She hated being placed in a geri chair. I went to a seminar about dementia a few yrs ago and the speaker mentioned that medication that can help people with dementia could cause the behavior of folks with LBD to become worse. Is this typical? Finally, my sister found a residential home licensed by the State as Assisted Living for four women. I think my mother was the only one in residence. She became calm and I assumed some of the meds were D/C. I believe she choked on some food, always pureed, and that caused her death. I see that as a blessing as she had no quality of life. But is it typical for people LBD to become worse when given meds that normally help people with dementia?
