Is Frontotemporal Dementia, fatal?
Usually degenerative brain diseases are not the cause of death. It’s infections. Due to lost body functions, like the ability to swallow, the most common cause for death is pneumonia.
When I was young they called Pneumonia the old mans friend.
I thought that was Johnny Walker or Old Grandad.
We’re all dying one day at a time, get used to it.
As Terry Pratchett wrote, time is a drug and to much of it will kill you.
