Burt had panic attacks all of his life.
By the time we got together the anxiety was mostly and as time went on increasingly under control.
Anxiety is one of the symptoms that plague those with Lewy Body Dementia. Burt’s anxiety during his years with this illness was mild although we had some concerns about depression.
My question: are those sufferimg from anxiety disorder, perhaps, predisposed to LBD?
More interesting notes on Burt’s health issues.
He had a case of psoriasis about a year before diagnosis. His skin shed plaques and I would rub him down to moisturize. During the years with LBD, the condition disappeared. Just about 99.9% at any rate.

We were monitoring an inguinal hernia for several years. Burt did some exercises to subdue it just about every day. This syndrome also receded after a couple of years with LBD.

The drop in Burt’s blood pressure from high even when controlled by medication to low-normal is a documented symptom of LBD. No question mark here.
