My grandmother has this she has Alzheimer's and Parkison type symptoms   I take care of my grandmother with my mom and it is a full time job

Anyone else out there that has a relative with this syndrome

I was in a support group with a lady whose mother had this.  She did not lose memory, but had constant and spectacular hallucinations.  Ex:  Talking German shepherd dogs testifying for the FBI.

My grandmother also has these spectacular hallucinations. I have been a madam of a prositution house and a restaurant owner. And before you ask I am neither.

My name is Ronnie Genser and I am a past board member of the Lewy Body Dementia Association (www.lbda.org). Currently I volunteer for the LBDA as their national support group facilitator. In this capacity I work with new support group facilitators and help establish new support groups. There are currently 45 support groups across the U.S. and Canada. For a list of LBD support groups, go to

If anyone is interested in starting a support group in their area, please send an e-mail to genser@mindspring.com and I'll be happy to invite you to the next new support group facilitator teleconference training on January 28 at 8 pm ET.
