Hello

[Gem12]

Hi I’ve just recently joined this group. My mum has had frontal lobe dementia for about 8 years now and is coming to the end of her awful journey. Has anyone else had experience with this type of dementia? She is only 66 years old x

Welcome to Dementia Talking Point @Gem12. I'm glad you found us, as this is a very friendly and supportive place.
Sorry to hear that your mother is in the latter stages of dementia, and at such a relatively young age too.
I did a search of site using the search bar at the top, and I wonder if any of these threads will be of interest to you. Some might be quite old, so you may not get a reply if you post in them, but they should still contain useful informtation.

Thank you so much
