Hi Everyone,
As a newly diagnosed sufferer my first question was how quickly will things get worse. my doctor and neurologist both said the same thing . " Its Diffrent for Everyone" so they dont like to put timescales on disease progression. I can accept that but i am sure that given that we live in a world where so many people earn a living compiling statistics there must be some figures regarding average time spent in the various phases of Dementia. All i have been told so far is that i will probably live another 10years or so. As a young sufferer (i am 60) it would be nice if i had a rough idea even if only as an aid to plan ahead.
Does anyone else have any thoughts or better still some average timescale spent in the various stages.
Thanks and Best Wishes to you all,
Gordon9
