My father who has onset Alzheimer's (Lewis bodies) and in a morning has had several bouts of stroke like symptoms. No control of bowels limbs etc. Has anyone ever come across this before. The hospital has done tests and so far can only advise he needs a pacemaker

Hi @Mrp63 welcome to DTP I can’t help with your questions as I only have experience of Alzheimer‘s
hopefully someone with personal experience will be able to answer your questions soon.
I hope now you have found the forum you will continue to post for support

Hi @Mrp63
If someone has Lewey Body Dementia they often get Parkinsons with it. This can cause tremors, stiffness, incontinence etc although it is not constant - the symptoms come and go.
Is this possibly what you are seeing?

Yes as it is not there all the time
