Bad nights return again
After a light dose of medication, the nightly horrors of graphic nightmares I struggled with for a few years, seemed to stop, and I thought that I had got rid of them. But these things have returned again, and it's becoming stressful. These started a few years ago when I was diagnosed as having a form of Lewy Body Dementia / Parkinsonism. The problem being that you act these graphic nightmares out, and can remember them in great detail during the next day. Nurses are told to speak quietly and touch the person going through these, in the hope of bringing them out of this But as I pointed out to graduate nurses while giving a presentation last year, this can be highly dangerous to anyone trying to help. As my wife has found out at times, that is hazardous, because she can become part of the nightmare, and then get hurt in the process. My wife tried this one night and ended up with a nasty black eye and bruises after one nightly horror show, and that was upsetting for me, as well
