how about trying the drug that slows down progression of almzheimers? And going to mind therapy? How are you so certain that you have it? Why can’t you get a home health care assistant and stay i your home? Best wishes

@elisabeth007 so many questions…
I was approved for Leqembi, however one of the many side effects is possible brain bleed. I had a brain bleed a while ago so I’m going to wait.

I do go to a therapist.

How do I know I have it? Well, I’ve had 2 MRIs, an MRA, EEG, a PET-scan, and an Neuro-Psychological 4 hour test.

I’m looking into all possibilities for my care. Home Health care sounds nice but the cost of 24 hour care is very expensive.
I just found out that when I go to Assisted Living I can have my place decorated with a few of my own things. That makes me feel better.

Thank you for caring!
