PD Or LBD
Has anyone that was diagnosed with PD had the diagnosis upgraded to LBD (Lewy Body Disease)? If so, what led to the change in the Diagnosis?
I was changed from PD to LBD because I was having hallucinations. No tremors or movement symptoms.

Hello, Recently My Husband Has Been Having More Delusions, And Hallucinations Then He Normally Has.
