That's a great report about Lithium Orotate. Thanks for posting it. My LO, age 82, was diagnosed with alzheimers in Nov 2024 but had signs of memory issues several years prior. The neurologist started her on Memantine and later added Donepezil. A blood test revealed she had one Apeo4 gene. Next the neurologist recommended Leqembi infusions but the local center is backed up 5-6 months for the initial interview. We found a more near-term center in Charlotte and she will be seeing a neurologist there in two weeks.
Meanwhile after reading the Harvard report on Lithium Orotate I started her on 10mg last August. I put myself, age 85, on it too. There's no way to evaluate if it is helping her or not but I believe she has leveled out in terms of her short term memory, which is her major deficit. Right now I'm not sure if Leqembi is in her future. The negatives are daunting. I'll keep everyone posted.

@longboat1 please do. I also have one instance of APOE4,
Coupled with profound family history of AD. I am 75 and my
primary issues are sustaining train of thought (what did I come in here for?), retrieving words when I need or want them, and remembering names at time I need them (but to be fair I dont think that part of my brain has ever been highlyfunctional).
And yea, we can’t be a sample of
One and we can’t be our own control. But we can communicate our experience and learnings with each other.
I struggled with the decision of whether to risk dementia or a cerebral hemorrhage. I decided to go all in on tracking activities of others who might influence options to deter AD. But that’s just me. I have read some
People’s experience that is fine
Where do you live if I may ask?
