I am sorry to hear that you wife had such a reaction to Leqembi. It must have been a relief after the MRI showed all was well with taking the drug. I am not sure how I would feel if he had to discontinue his treatment. It has definitely given us some hope, even if it is just a glimmer... My husband is having his 4th infusion this coming week and is scheduled for an MRI after that treatment. It is standard procedure to check for brain bleeds as you know. I have noticed that for about a week after the hour-long infusion he seems more himself. I am not sure if this is what others are experiencing? Have you noticed any changes in your spouse?
Thank you for the info you posted, it might help someone else.

Hello, I am devouring all your communication, as I am at the crossroads of deciding which of the two drugs I should sign up for. I am 68 and have been diagnosed with MCI. I have one APOE3 gene and one APOE4 🙁 I have read about the side effects and have concerns; I have a part time job which I love and I don't want to give it up yet. The job is having me lean toward Kisunla, as the infusions are every 4 weeks, where the Leqembi is every 2 weeks. The side effects are an important consideration. I have also read the research, and it seems Kisunla is more effective, though side effects are greater.
