Hi All
My wife Gill (51) has developed issues with her speech over the last year which seem to fit in with the signs of the speech variation of FTD. There is a history of AZ in her Family with her Mother being diagnosed with Picks and her eldest sister developing AZ in her late 50's (but we think some of the the symptoms were there for years but we didn't realise). A few of her elderly relatives also have developed AZ
Gill's behaviour has also altered and more and more people are asking me "what is the matter with Gill?" Her family have also noticed and are worried. She has had an MRI scan which the GP said was clear but we have a Neurologist appointment on Wednesday. Has anyone else got experience of the onset of speech problems and their development? Her memory and abilities are fine but she's not the Gill I married 30 years ago, or even how she was a couple of years ago. Any advice or comments appreciated. I'm trying to avoid a long process of pre-diagnosis cul-de-sac's and being in limbo! Thanks
