Hello
I'm a new member. My wife has been living with a genetic form of Frontotemporal Dementia for around 10 years. Late last year she was given a diagnosis of PSP as well. This has had a profound affect on her mobility and is totally dependent on carers to transfer from one place to another. She is still able to walk to a certain extent with the support of two carers. She is unable to communicate verbally.
She closes her eyelids quite often, especially when anyone approaches too close or when she is not feeling well due to UTIs etc. This makes supported eating and walking even more difficult as her balance is seriously impaired. Apart from botox, has anyone come across anything that will encourage her to open her eyes in the short term?
Thank you
