    His father died of FTD, and signs point towards him having it too. Epstein suspected it, and it’s becoming fairly obvious something is really wrong with him. He’s also suffered multiple strokes (visible facial droop), he has congestive heart failure (swollen ankles), and he might even have diabetes (needle marks on fingertips). He struggles stepping down stairs, and walking in a straight line. He also struggles with swallowing (slurping sounds), filtering whatever comes from his mouth, or what his body does (getting up to look at his ballroom in the middle of a meeting), he’s showing sundowning behaviour (falling asleep during the day, even in crowded, loud places, and tweeting crazy shit all night long) and has been incontinent for years at this point.

    I don’t know what he has exactly, but I hope his days are painful, his nights sleepless and that he hurts every single living second.

      Really…uh…really brought it all together there at the end. I was like “Oh no…is Lemmy getting trump apologists?”

      But nope. Swerved everything back on track by the end.

      FTD tends to present much earlier and verbal ability tends to be relatively spared though behavior worsens… I don’t think the overall picture fits here. It could be vascular dementia with his poor diet and seemingly poor cardiovascular health overall or Alzheimer’s dementia.

      He sounds like Henry VIII, who was obese and had a shit load of diseases and other medical problems.
