My husband has had Lewy Body Dementia for 4 years and I am finding it so difficult to cope with - need antidepressants and lorezapam. Recently he led on the floor a number of times and could not move for a couple of hours, then his mobility came back. GP thought that he should go into respite care to be assessed which I dreaded as I thought that I would miss him so much. The reverse happened - while he was away all the depression and anxiety went, I felt normal for the first time in years and it was wonderful. Now that he is back home I feel dreadful again. Has anyone else had a similar experience or could offer advice.
Many thanks.
