What are the symptoms of dementia with Lewy bodies?
Dementia with Lewy bodies is a progressive disease. This means that over time the symptoms will become worse. In general, DLB progresses at about the same rate as Alzheimer's disease, typically over several years.
A person with DLB will usually have some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
They may experience problems with attention and alertness, often have spatial disorientation and experience difficulty with 'executive function', which includes difficulty in planning ahead and co-ordinating mental activities. Although memory is often affected, it is typically less so than in Alzheimer's disease.
They may also develop the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including slowness, muscle stiffness, trembling of the limbs, a tendency to shuffle when walking, loss of facial expression, and changes in the strength and tone of the voice.
There are also symptoms that are particular to dementia with Lewy bodies. In addition to the symptoms above, a person with DLB may:
experience detailed and convincing visual hallucinations (seeing things that are not there), often of people or animals
find that their abilities fluctuate daily, or even hourly
fall asleep very easily by day, and have restless, disturbed nights with confusion, nightmares and hallucinations
faint, fall, or have 'funny turns'.
