Brisk reflexes
For those of you with loved ones diagnosed with both frontotemporal dementia and ALS, I was wondering if they presented with the brisk reflexes which seems to be one of the keys in the early diagnosis?
I have very delayed reflexes, and I'm thinking this is because of the FTD. It seems to take longer for my brain to react to anything. I have to wear protection because my brain doesn't get the message in time that I have to go to the bathroom. It takes longer to identify what a sound is. So is it also possible that's why the delayed reflexes?
Just curious.
