Would this be a group for Alzheimer’s also?

My Mom is 60 and almost done with her 18 month Lequembi regimen. She repeats herself a lot but it has helped. She has lost body weight though. But appetite still pretty good. Any tips?

@ike2thetop I hope each day is better for you. Boost, the energy protein drink, seems to help with the weight issue. My sister had early onset dementia and she was able to drink them by herself using a "sippy cup". Her son said it was a lifesaver in that she wasn't constantly spilling her drinks. It's a hard time for you. Keep the faith.

I have been on Kisunla for 4 months now. I have had no side effects from the first two injections. Just took third and had a bad headache and was very tired for first two days but it went away after that. My blood pressure also dropped but was in a tolerable range. It is a calculated risk taking this drug. I am taking it one injection at a time. I was told the first four are a greater risk for side effects. Mainly because you are graduating up in strength from 350 to a max of 1400. Next month I will be at 1400 and will follow up here. I am 80 years old. God Bless.
