as my DH’s disease progressed he became obsessed with things like potholes in the road, the car, the trash, etc. COVID can cause progression after which he may or may not return to his baseline.

I was thinking the same thing. Today is pretty calm😚 I take whatever I can get these days.

My DW has EO FTD, seems her agitation and behaviors cycle from quiet calms in the valley to constant moving, yelling, picking up items, moving chairs when she spikes. I hide anything I don't want lost and leave to a quiet space when she's yelling alot. She can't be understood, has aphasia for some years now. For her, she's triggered by a lot of movement, talking, noise and sometimes just me sitting quietly in the room. Sometimes are quieter, some are miserable has been my path for some years now.

We have been there also for a few years but he refuses to go to the doc. We're at the point of no return at this point. Lol good luck to you. Wish we could get on Seroquel, my life would be easier. Some days feel mentally tough.
