Many Parkinson’s patients get dementia and it could happen at any stage of the disease. Sometimes they think it’s PD and it’s Lewy Body dementia and just as often it’s both Parkinson's and PD dementia sometimes like a friend of mine has PD and Lewy Body, just because he was diagnosed with one unfortunately doesn’t rule out the other. There has to be sone good articles about this. Probably here on this sight. If I find one I will send it to you!!!

This does not sound right but everyone is different. I would get a seccond opinion.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 10 years ago but Dr. figured I had it longer. I don’t have dementia, maybe Mild Cognitive decline. I still drive, took up boxing and will be buying electric Trike this week. I’ve quit calling it My Parkinson’s because I don’t want it to define me. I’m positive today because I feel good, tomorrow could be a different story.

At this point I feel blessed. I have had symptoms that I have had for many years with slow progression. It has even improved with medication. Friends have commented that they notice marked improvement over the last couple of years. I spent many months in intense.pain and discomfort.
And then suddenly it just disappeared. How that happened or why no one seems to be able to explain.

I am careful due to falls I have experienced in the last few months, I use 2 walking sticks especially when in the mountainous terrain. I was out at a dig at a prospecting activity 2 days ago and kept my balance quite well. Such an
unusual disease.

I am still driving my big 350 Chevy pickup. Amazing. My first symptoms probably appeared over 20 years ago which no doctor could diagnose at that time. So far I pretty much live my life as I always have. There are changes, but it's been rather suttle.

I wish you all blessings.

I'm so glad Parkinson's has been kind to you. My prayers for you to continue your journey as well as you are. HUGS.
