I hope I am doing this right...I am a new member..Al, I know about FTD and my hubby's mental health care provider has diagnosed his FTD. He is 65 and everything his doctor told me to expect has happened...I find myself making excuses that he is just having a bad day (he is in the nursing home with multiple other medical problems)...but the social behavior changes, the rigidity of his body, he has both bowel and bladder incontinence saying he has already "done it" before he knows it....he has diabetic neuropathy in his legs and he has left foot drop...we have been married 21 years and never could I have asked for a more kinder, gentler, Christian man than him...now when I go see him he "orders" every one and he curses now like a sailor...yes, I am seeing someone to help me cope with this...I feel so helpless...sorry to unload on ya.....
