Yes - she is recovering from brain injury in 2016- and deals with Afib, hypertension and anxiety... I got her to try tapping to relive her anxiety and so far it is working a treat! So that is good!

Thank you for reminding me of tapping. It seems too simple, but it really can work.

Hello @kristin816

I would like to join @colleenyoung in welcoming you to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds as if you are doing an exceptional job in caring for your parents. I'm sure it is challenging at times!

I am a mentor for the Parkinson's discussion group here on Connect and we have several discussions on Lewy Body Dementia in that group. Here are some links where you can read what other members are saying about LBD.

I too am registered for the May 3 webinar on LBD. I'm hoping to increase my understanding of this disorder that seems to be gaining recognition with diagnoses as well as treatments.

Kristin, you mentioned some of your father's memory problems. I'm wondering if he is also experiencing physical problems with walking, balance, swallowing, etc.?
