I was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in March 2010 at Mayo Clinic. I am interested in learning anything I can about this disease, its onset and progression. Caregiver advice would also be appreciated. I am currently taking Aricept 10 mg. and have made a remarkable recovery since my "dark days" beginning Labor Day 2009. Although my driver's license was taken away, I have now gotten it back, and with it a good measure of my freedom. I'm feeling better than I have for the last 5 years and am wondering how long this "good" time is going to last, if that can be predicted. I do stretching and strengthening exercises everyday at home and walk 1 mile 3 times/week. I love being outdoors and participating in outdoor activities the best I can. I also enjoy reading and researching on the computer. Should I be doing other things; i.e. crossword puzzles, board games, etc.? Any help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks and good luck to all!
