Marion was diagnosed with frontal temporal dementia late 2008, Mid 2009 was

diagnosed with p.s.p. is there anybody else in the same situation? Marion is 60 years young.

Hi Mazbri

My mum was initially diagnosed with FDT but nurses at the Memory clinic noticed that there was other symptoms not common with FDT like mum was falling backwards and couldnt throw a ball or tap a balloon back to the nurses. She was then diagnosed with having PSP as well. My mum was 72 when she was diagnosed, but symptoms had been there maybe in her late 60s but we just put it down to stress of bereavement.

Take care angx
