I was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia earlier today, I'm probably going to end up offing myself once I get my fiances and such ready. I have virtually nothing (around 1k) but I figure I could throw it in an undervalued crypto and have it in my will. Several years later that 1k could be millions, I'd like to think I could help my family somehow even if it's a long shot. Shill me the absolute best undervalued coin.

Buy term life insurance now, asap

Should cost no more than $300 a year for a good 300k policy. They usually don't ask about dementia. And after a year they can't do anything about it even if they found you lied.

Start taking out massive loans and apply for credit cards. They can't come after your family because it would be a part of your estate.

Not insulting you but I hope you go through with it, because it's a good idea. You don't want to live with fucking dementia. I work in a nursing home and the dementia ward is just fucking horrible. These people aren't enjoying their existence at all yet are kept alive by modern medicine and family members who are too attached to let go.

If you want to try fighting it:

-Make sure you are not living anywhere near mould.
-Walk for 1-2 hours shortly after waking up.
-Eat 2 large meals a day, no snacks, only water inbetween.
-Get a sleep lab done, you quite probably have sleep apnea. If you dont want to just ask someone to listen if you hold your breath while sleeping.
-Avoid all stress, only listen to chill music etc. nothing that pumps you up.
-Eat fish a couple of times a week.
-Take a DHT supplement.
-Do you have a constantly runny nose/snot in throat/sore sinus or throat? Recent research has shown that toxins released by bacteria in the sinuses travel across the olfactory mucosa, directly to the brain, causing dementia in some.

Do the research. It's a dopamine reuptake etc, and while it isn't as neurodegenerative as meth, over time it will affect your brain negatively. It targets the frontal lobe and middle parts, a twig-like thing having to do with dopamine I think. I was addicted for like 4 years. Got off it and had a month maybe of depression/exhaustion, and then a couple months after that feeling absolutely retarded. Now I'm better and never touching that dirty upper shit again.

Well, give it like 3 years or so and see whst you think of it then, maybe less. It's supposed to be a short-term fix. Eventually you'll need to train yourself to be better without it, it's all about will. Just make sure to research the negative effects, including long-term.

It is. Neurotoxicity is the major issue surrounding the psychostimulant class of ADHD medications.
Neurotoxicity is caused by these drugs from a build up of oxidopamine in the cells, which is caused by a downregulation of tyrosine hydroxylase.

All I can tell you is SSRIs are very bad long-term. That's the one antidepressant class thry need to ban. Also, O'm no expert, just had a big interest in drugs and nootropics back in the day.

I would try asking this question maybe in /r/Nootropics and see what they think, they tend to be med school-tier. Also googling any supplements/vitamins/nootropics in general to take with SSRIs. Your brain is elastic (neuroplastocity) though and can heal itself, especially if you practice zazen and become a little more mindful of what the different parts of the brain do. Check out this guy Wim Hoff and his power breath technique, which goes great with normal meditation

Memory problems were some of the worst symptoms for me, and for Kris Kristofferson.
This is a longshot, and it was a hail mary for me, but it worked. No promises.
I’m keeping it short but I have had nueroproblems for years and in the last few learned it was Lyme and coinfections. I was tested for all sorts of stuff for years and no infections were found. Some immune stuff that sometimes was called various autoimmune stuff, but never an infection. Doctors are very behind on vector borne diseases including lyme, babesiosis, bartonellosis, etc.

When I had given up, someone told me to look into Lyme as a hail mary, and I did. It’s one of those things that before I was diagnosed seemed as wacky as chemtrails, but its become more mainstream. CDC is behind. It’s not a conspiracy, just a general lack of knowledge coupled with a lot of institutional arrogance.

Kris Kristofferson was diagnosed with all sorts of stuff including alzheimers, but his wife pushed, got him diagnosed and treated, and they say that a long course of antibiotics cured him.

I am not a proponent of antibiotic abuse, but more and more MD’s and ND’s are saying that a combo of herbs and antibiotics shows better results than antibiotics alone. They should be used judiciously, but I think genuine cases warrant whatever length of treatment is needed.

Memory problems were some of the worst symptoms.

Testing sucks, and doctors suck. Some are good, do your research, advocate for yourself, be persistent. Research good testing, where I’m from (not shilling) a good lab is Igenex. Different places have different labs and doctors, I know parts of Europe are very up on this stuff too.


Best of luck, if this helps great, if not, I still hope you find something that helps and that your days are peaceful. Take care.

I'm a freshly minted radiologist, but my dad probably does not have long. First noticed it this June when he forgot the name of Wolverine which is surprising since he was a huge comic book nerd as a kid. That and he did not use obvious ways to describe Wolverine (ie. the mutant with metal claws) and instead struggled to describe the defining characteristics. This is the tall tell sign of primary progressive aphasia which is a type of frontotemporal dementia. I remember the sinking feeling at noticing that and the subsequent increasing occurrences

Posted before finishing, but he is at the point now, only a few months later where he cannot remember the names of his sisters in laws, uncles, and most cities or basically any wors not used multiple times a day in conversation. Talking to him you wouldn't notice anything was amiss until he would forget a word liek hummingbird or the word for cheese etc as he did today. But every day there are more and more words he cannot say, and as the atrophy progresses it now affects which words he can understand when you speak to him, and will eventually alter his personality (which has already begun to slightly alter now) and then kill him.

But there is nothing that can cure or even delay this disease unfortunately. Same is true with virtually every neuro-degenerative disorder.

At his current rate of progression I do not imagine he will be my "dad" anymore in about 8 months or so. It;s all been sudden as he has had to suddenly retire from being a neurologist and taking care of people with dementia to regressing rapidly and will now need to be taken care of, coming to grips that he will never get to see his grandchildren or do all the things he wanted to do with my mom when they got old etc.

Sucks because he was the nicest guy on earth; i made him a lot of money this year because he is always interested and excited with anything im doing whether it was playing Halo back in the day or investing in crypto this year and so on.
