Pain In doing some research this morning I came across a number of articles talking about the use of a Visual analogue scale for pain, which is used for young children, as well as for persons with various forms of dementia. The normal scale which most of us use.....indicating our pain on the scale of one to ten....will not be effective as the disease progresses. +11/20/07 (Mary~Canada) |

Added a Quote to "Taking Care of Yourself" http://www.ftdsupport.com/cgi-takingcare.htm
Sorry That You Are Here It is indeed a difficult road. I am a very good swimmer. One time for the fun of it, I have tried to swim upstream in a river with a strong current. At most, I could stay at the same location. After a while, I began to get tired and started to loose ground. I had to give up. To see the difference, I tried to swim with the current. It was also difficult to keep control, but it was going very fast and not tiresome. A bit scary, but fun. To me, FTD is like that river. It is a lost battle. If you try to fight it it will burn you down and you will loose anyway. If you play with it, you still can have good moments and still have a reasonable life. The key ingredients is understanding and adaptation. It is difficult but it can be done.
