Here is a bit more informtion:I am a member of the Pick's Disease Support Group, and I am the local organisor of the PDSG Face to Face meetings, which takes place every three months at the Neurosupport Centre, in Norton Street, Liverpool. Next meeting is 17th March 2008.I am also the co-moderator/Administrator of www.ftdsupportforum.com, which was launched on 1st January 2008, and currently has 190 members, and is still growing day by day. Our previous forum, on Yahoo had 686 members and we are currently transferring members over.My reason for joining your forum is to hopefully increase awareness in the region and UK, of FTD/Pick's Disease.It is quite a rare form of Dementia, which has differents presentation of symptoms than Alzheimer's, and can affect a younger age group. I know of one person who contracted Pick's at age 31. She died a few years ago.Thank you for the opportunity, take care,Peter http://www.dementiacentre.com/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?59 2013-05-22T03:33:18-04:00 Erica Hi Peter,If its ok with you, would I be able to come along to the meeting in the Neurosupport?
