Susan, please keep us updated on how Leqembe works for you. My husband has also been dealing with MCI for about three years. He is not able to take Aricept but does take Memantine twice daily; however, it doesn’t really seem to help. He is 67 and this has been so hard for him, and hard for me. There’s not much encouragement from the medical side, but we keep looking for anything that might be helpful to him.

@labrown I so sorry to hear about your husband’s MCI.
I also took Memantine for almost 3 years, not only did it not work but when I stopped, my brain fog cleared up!
Sorry to say, aside from the usual advice from everywhere to keep your brain busy, and physical exercise I don’t really think there’s much.
However, there’s lots of resources for caregivers. Go on YouTube where you can find lots of resources that can help both of you.
I’m overwhelmed by all changes in my life right now. I can’t drive anymore so I have to arrange for volunteers to help me. I will try to keep you updated.
Blessings
