Husband developing memory issues

@jannew I can’t recall words many times so after an MRI & PET scan and APOE GENE test was referred to a neurologist who dx’d mild early alz because of amyloid & tau in my brain. I immediately did research with my GPT5 chat and learned a lot about alz. I will begin Lequembe infusions when my neurologist arranges it. There is fascinating research happening now for the tau aspect and completed trials for the amyloid. Lequembe is one drug already being used for amyloid. I am hopeful enough not to be too upset by the dx. I expected it as strong positive family risk. Also learned about need to sleep more, have schedule, exercise, take DHA/EPA supplements, and socialize. All have helped so far.

You mention Lequembe; my husband is on his 5th infusion and I'm trying to see if anyone out there doing the infusions, is experiencing an upset stomach, etc. from it. I notice my husband's eating patterns have changed. and he seems to experience more upset with his stomach. I'm not sure if it's the lequembe or what's going on. I know he has been more tired, and one of the Mayo Connect people told me their neurologist suggested a pepcid a few days before the lequembe. Interested to know what side affects others may be having from actually taking lequembe and where they are in their lequembe cycle.
THanks,

@maysh47 HI there. what are DHA/EPA supplements - is that the brain health supplements Cerefolin my husband is taking for mCI along with Lequembe infusions.
