Okay…what word gave me away? I am from Canada, so not far from your place.
I was very pleased to hear from you again and I will definitely correspond with you via email. You might find Dr. Daniel Amen’s books, ‘Making a Good Brain Great’ and ‘Change Your Brain Change Your Life’ really helpful in understanding both your aunt’s and your father-in-laws situation. I found it really helpful to learn about the function of different parts of the brain-it has given me more patience with my husband’s dementia, and his peculiar behaviours. (oops, I gave it away-behaviours, instead of behaviors).

Will chat with you soon,

Holly

Beautifully written. I had told you earlier that my aunt has FTD. My uncle and I were discussing how little is being done about this form of dementia. It seems by your spelling that you may be from where they speak the “King’s English”. We are in the States.

My uncle has spent a good deal of time checking to see what research is being done specifically for FTD. We would like to have an email correspondence with you as a sort of support group when we find good research doctors or drug trials. Please contact me at the email address I have listed, f you are interested. If you don’t have the time, we certainly understand.

Also your information about the dementia in the frontal lobe and how it effects your husband has helped me in dealing with my father-in-law who has alcohol induced liver cirrhosis. I believe alcohol abuse affects that part of the brain. I can see that indifference to his personal appearance in him also. It is so frustrating.

Keep up the writing.
