Basically, that's the parts of the brains that associate with personality, behavior, and language. During that time, parts of the brain lobes, they actually shrink, such as things that are atrophied. Things that are atrophied shrink down smaller and smaller and smaller. And the average life expectancy of someone that has this frontal temporal dementia is seven to 13 years after the start of symptoms

Anytime it comes to brain injuries or just our neurophysiological health, it's such a precious, fragile thing. And it's so scary when we watch loved ones go through it. It's definitely scary watching her go through it. And like you said, evelyn, can we imagine just being trapped in a body that is chronically and progressively going in the direction that it wants to go? And we have no control

You. Thank you for this post. It is so important for your listeners, your followers, my followers, and for those of us just in general in life as human beings, to discuss this very important topic. It is unfortunate that the great and wonderful Wendy Williams has to be the example by which to discuss two powerfully profound medical issues that many, many people around the world get, and that is the prefrontal aphasia as well as the frontal temporal dementia

I'm sending her prayers, prayers of light, prayers of goodness, prayers of the Lord Jesus Christ to be with her, to send healing angels to her, to support her and surround her with his people, that she would be able to give him glory for the things tha are happening in her life, even though she's going through this horrible situation. But thank you, Erica, because you always have compassion. You do. And that's what makes you such a beautiful person

Thank you for that. I am sure Miss Williams feels love, and I hope it just floods her today of love and compassion, because she's a human being that deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. It's what we all would demand, not just expect so. Thank you so much

There are so many issues, and I try to put that out there on my black and brown history every day because we are experiencing health issues like none other, that are not being dealt with and should be, but they're not being talked about in the right circles. And I want us to get into the right rooms. And that's why we need to raise more people that study diseases, doctors. We need more pathologists. We need more geneticists

You went to the bottom of the ocean with your science. That last portion, especially talking about health and nutrition. I'll just share this really briefly with you. I worked, sadly, with a now defunct nonprofit organization where I was given the invitation to create different kinds of curricula for summer school programs for the mental well being of our black and brown, historically underappreciated community

And I think Wendy was already sick and going through this, but then after her husband, after the situation with her husband broke up, I think the stress just added extra to her illness and really made it progress faster. I'm not saying this out of fact. I'm just saying that I know when a person stress, this is what can happen to them

And I just hope that there are some people that love her and not trying to take advantage of her. Because right now she needs them. She needs them. She needs all our prayers. So thank you so much, sir. Bye

I knew something was wrong. She had a hard time focusing, had a hard time being coherent, forming clear sentences, trying to get the words from her brain to her mouth. Like, I could just see that. And I was like, wow, something is really, really wrong. That being said, it's sad. It's really devastating. I wish her all the best. I hope that things go well for her. Thanks for this post. Bye

I was noticing things years before, and I said, okay, something's happening. I hope she's surrounded by good people. And then her divorce and all that mess started coming out, and I was just like, you, know what? She's either going to rise above or she's going to snap. And the sickness just took her over for right now. Bun bun. Anyway, thank you so much

So my heart pours out to her because this is not a space for me to judge. I don't have a heaven or hell to place someone in. I am doing this swell cast response with love and with prayer. I understand she has an only child. I believe she is she an only child. I know her parents passed away and I can imagine that impacted her in ways beyond my wildest imagination because of her relationship that she had with her parents, that she seemed to have with her parents

And there's a lot of things that could happen, but to not be in any type of control, that's scary to me. To not be able to say I'm hurting when I'm hurting or I love you, or could you please prop my pillow up or I'm scared, or could you sit here with me for a minute? Or I'm hurting here. She may can think it and can articulate it

I remember when Wendy Williams first started getting big, a friend of mine used to. This was back when satellite radio was still a very new thing, but she used to be obsessed with Wendy Williams. When Wendy Williams was on WBLS in New York, she used to be obsessed with Wendy Williams. And I know who Wendy Williams was, but she was a dj back then, and even back then on her radio show, she would spill all sorts of tea

But when you're dealing with multiple diagnosis like that, it's hard to treat just one. You got to treat them all. And sometimes in treating one, it does something to the other. So it doesn't help that she compounds it with alcohol or drugs
