Dear peggyrk, I have been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment and a blood test and PET Scan have indicated protein that is associated with Alzheimers. I have had 2 infusions of Leqembi and experienced bad headache, nausea, body aches, fatigue, and low grade fever. As you say, it is not pleasant! My primary suggested I take Tylenol and an allergy pill before the infusion and continue the Tylenol as directed. The second infusion was not fun, but the side effects were less severe. Normally, I would not want to continue with a treatment that makes me sick for 2 days, but I feel a bit desperate since this is the only treatment to slow down the Alzheimer's progression. I've been told that I am fortunate that my Alzheimer's was caught early enough to be eligible for the Leqembi. I pray you have less side effects as your infusions continue and that it is an effective treatment for you. God bless you. It's not easy to deal with such a sad diagnosis, is it?
Miss Patty
