If you can, go to a specialist. You're seeing a lot of symptoms and the doctor is a liability for your husband. Some medications may help these symptoms but the doctor can't be in denial. Good luck.
Hello @wifehenry and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear of your husband's symptoms. This sounds very difficult for you both.
Is your husband currently under the care of a neurologist? If not, you might request a neurological consult. This would be a good first step.
In the meantime, I would like to invite you to an online event about LBD that is being hosted by Mayo Clinic on May 3. Here is the link to find out more information and to register.

As you can see, you can post questions that can be addressed by the presenters. I hope that you can attend.
I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you post again with an update?
