Everyone says how hard it is to be diagnosed with Lewy Body and I agree. But the problem is that no one wants to be responsible for that type of diagnosis and the weight of it. It seems to happen over lots of progressive illnesses. But that's years of not getting treatment for the issues.

I’m a caregiver for my mom. At night she cries and want me to stay with her in her room. I’m exhausted and refuse to sleep in her room. Am I doing the wrong thing?
