It Just Has to be a Hallucination, doesn't it?

Parkinson's  Halllucinations

As a patient of Parkinson's Disease, I found that I am among the 40% who may have hallucinations. It usually happens in the later stages of the disease and usually in the evening hours of the day - probably when  most tired.

It began with my watching one of Lorraine's plants in the living room suddenly start growing at a very rapid rate and clmbing to the ceiling and then crawling along it, before disappearing. Weird, right? So far, I'm only seeing things that weren't there before blinking out. I admit that the first time I saw the "fast-growing plant" unverved me a lot. Now, it's troublesome, but I know what to expect - and I've never been told it usually happens in later stages of the dreaded disease. I learned that on the internet. I have complete trust in my neurologist, but I'm learing there are things about this disease that no one, not even a neurologist, can anticipate or explain. 

Doctors say most hallucinations are usually just visions of people, animals, or objects that appear and leave. Some are even "entertaining," and I guess some are downright scary! I've had a few of those, but it's always the same image and always of the same monster: 

I'm learning that some patients hear music, too.  This guy doesn't produce music . . . he just lies about how great he is and how great he is going to make the world. Stuff like that. 

And that stupid hair. And that stupid look on his face. 

And when the hallucination "winks out," he always leaves me with the words, "I'll be back, Watson...I''ll be back for you, you lib-crazy Blogger!"

There ain't no medicine for that stuff - believe me!
