My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimers around two and a half years ago, however I am begining to suspect it might actually be dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).
I have read a lot about DLB, but only once seen a reference to one of the symptoms described as 'finding it hard to get up from a seated position' which was in the Feb 05 Alzheimers Society 'Share' newsletter. In my wife's case, this is classic of her condition, in fact it has now developed into an inability to stand up. I would be pleased to hear from anyone with first hand knowledge of DLB regarding if this is indeed a characteristic symptom.
Thanks in anticipation.
