Angelica, my comment is unrelated but my mom in her late 80s developed what I thought was Sundown Syndrome while she was in the hospital. She was afraid at night because things would come out of the floor beneath here bed. Getting her home she could see fire near her bedroom window at night. One day she was going to fix my brother who was visiting and I lunch. She was in the kitchen and my brother and I was in the living room when we heard mom scream. She had caught the skillet on fire and put it in the sink but had also caught the curtain over the sink on fire. After we put the fire out, we told mom her days of cooking were over! At night when i slept in a separate bedroom I could hear mom roaming the walls of the house and she would call out for me to rescue her and put her back to bed. She would fall and lose her way back. Parkinsons research has gone a long way to understand how the eyes are affected and exacerbate hallucinations and dementia. Google blind to blindsight. The short answer is make your movements disorder specialist aware of what's going on. He can help. Dr. De Leon has a good YouTube video that may give you some clues. <https://tinyurl.com/yda482u> https://tinyurl.com/yda482u4 Health & Beauty Tip # 9 : Unveiling the truth behind Visual Problems in Parkinson’s Disease – By Dr. De Leon<https://tinyurl.com/yda482u4> tinyurl.com At least 2 years before my Parkinson’s diagnosis, I began experiencing difficulty with night vision particularly in depth perception which progressively got worst thus making driving at night… John Cottingham Dumaguete ________________________________ From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of angelica horaitis <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, January 05, 2018 9:10 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Leaving the house linked to longevity in older adults (Reuters 12/26/17) Happy New Year and better health in 2018 to all !!!!!! My husband who has Parkinsons disease for 30 years, he is 65. Recently he has been hallucinating and crawling all over the floor for hours, no real aim just wandering and crawling. He is swearing, nasty, verbally combative and more obstinate than ever. I am also concerned about his ability to see clearly. He tries to pick something up and he misses it by 4 or 5 inches. He has not changed medicine ie Rytary, carba dopa levodopa, depacote, seroquel, melatonin.
