welcome to the club no one wants to join.

Bez,

I don't know how much you already found out about FLD but here is some
info.

"Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), sometimes called frontal lobe
dementia, describes a group of diseases characterized by degeneration
of nerve cells - especially those in the frontal and temporal lobes of
the brain. Unlike AD, FTD usually does not include formation of
amyloid plaques. In many people with FTD, there is an abnormal form of
tau protein in the brain, which accumulates into neurofibrillary
tangles. This disrupts normal cell activities and may cause the cells
to die."

This description of FTD is at http://www.dementiatoday.com/frontotemporal_dementia.php
