@japlok Thank you for the article. It is very helpful. May I ask how old was your wife when diagnosed? How were her symptoms at that time? Was it very early Alzheimer's? Thanks.

@llthomson My wife was 59 when she was diagnosed with AD. Looking back I can say she probably had it years ago and it has been slow in progressing and her main symptoms at the time were lack of short-term memory, difficulty with finding words for a sentence, difficulty with simple tasks. Those symptoms have not improved with the Leqembi infusions. I still say she is in the early stages of the disease taking over.
At this time my goal is to help guide her in eating healthier, exercise, socialize, challenge the brain, and to overall stay active. That is the only thing I can possibly control in slowing the progression. I will let the Leqembi work on the cleaning of the plaque and tangles.
