Hi everyone. I wonder if anyone can share some info with me on Picks Disease. My uncle is in a nursing home now with Picks and, although it is very much like AD, I know there are differences. First of all, he does not speak anymore. Does anybody know what to expect throughout the course of this dementia? Thanks!

Your quite welcome EC

Mae I was tripping on that too...pretty good and informative reads

Bunnysgrl, excellent site.Amazing how some of the symptoms mock those of Parkinsons.

Thanks Bunnys grl. I have been so busy I have not checked back in until today. Appreciate the links!
