Leqembi: Anyone else taking this infusion to slow dementia?

@sasham i am pea green with envy for your husband’s gene pairing. A 2/3 is awesome in my book. I have 3/4 and that instance of 4 increases the risk of brain bleeds. I told my neurologist the day may come when I am willing to take the risk - but it’s not today. An instance of 2 improves chances of not developing AD as I understand it.

@pb50
But the neurologist said he has Alzheimer’s.
His labs through the test say he has plaque. I’m confused on the results.
He said he is positive for Alzheimer’s.

@pb50 I am APOE 2/3 as well but have enough amyloid & tau with shrinkage of hippocampus to try Lequmbi for amyloid and when trials are over, something for the tau tangles. I suspect the tau protein being inside the neurons is worst than amyloid being outside the neurons, and look forward to that treatment. Feel so lucky having the chance, unlike others in the family who died of Alz, to be treated.🥰
