    About the guest –
    Kris Bowring, and I have FTD. Currently, I have a Logogenic Variant PPA. My brain damage is in the Frontal, Temporal, and Parietal Lobes of each with various damage. I will be very honest, authentic, and fair. I felt that the Global FTD Awareness Week was the perfect time to tell my short story. Me and the mystery. I was a Vice President of Innovation and Development, it was a decent job, but I wasn’t the me, I knew I should be. My wife knew something was wrong, at one point we thought it was Meniere's disease symptoms of Vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Still, I worked harder, and she watched while I began to be slightly paranoid. I left the company. Shortly after the job loss, I decided to have an outpatient surgery procedure since I had time. My time with the Doctor showed no illness or anything else. I was PERFECT. She asked, “If there were any other questions,” and my response was “I’ve heard about long-term COVID-causing stuttering, I’ve never stuttered.”  She must have noticed as well, and she scheduled a neurologist immediately. Seemed every test required blood work. Our doctor was very aware when I told her I was stuttering, I have never stuttered in my life, but it is a big symptom. We met with the Surgeon, several tests, and two MRI reviews. Then I was sent to a Neuropsychological Therapist and took five hours of crazy testing brain testing and puzzles. My PET Scan was on Valentine's Day 2023 and the results were in, I have Frontal, Temporal, and Parietal damage. All this work on and around me, the doctors, nurses, PA’s all did great work. The teams knew what to do. It took only 10 months to have the complete diagnosis. This is not what so many don’t experience, 3.6 years is way too long. We simply need to get the right people in place to understand, more people in the system need to know more. Terminal? Yes, it is. How long do I...
