In December of 2013 I was told I have FTD and probably had 2 years of quality life left

For a short time it was thought I had ALS too. Turned out I don't have ALS. As you can tell, I still have some quality left in me.

Here is the link to the story I used to explain FTD: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/06/health/a-rare-form-of-dementia-tests-a-vow-of-for-better-for-worse.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

Each patient advances at their own rate. For me, so far so good.

I'm on Trazadone to slow the advance of FTD. Studies in Great Britain show that Trazadone for some reason does help with that.

I'm still able to get around and communicate. I need to lose a few pounds since I'm pre-diabetic.

I have helped raised over 1.5 million dollars for Biden-Harris: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214084917

Anyway I get asked from time to time how I'm doing. For now I'm doing fine.

Regards,

If only SloJo can whip dementia, whip it good.   :whistling:

in other unrelated news, the SS (secret service I hope) accidentally disclosed Kamala Harris code name: Spread Eagle.  :rimshot:

Uh, the big guy needs to lose more than " few pounds."

And his "helping" the Biden-Harris campaign raise $1.5 million has consisted of his occasionally posting a link to ActBlue on Skins's island, no more than that.

Now, as everybody here knows, I know the big guy like the back of my hand.

He alleges some of his fellow primitives are asking him from time to time how he's doing.

Nobody's asking him how he's doing.

It's just that it's been a long time since any primitive inquired about him, and he needs to remind them he's still here, subtly begging for expressions of concern.

Looks like FTD is an umbrella label for multiple diseases that cause the same set of symptoms. FTD has both behavioral (hence the Trazadone) and physical effects. Among the former (I'm stating facts, not mocking) is a tendency to overeat, especially sweets and carbohydrates in general.
