I have very mild MCI. I caught it & asked for blood test. Ptau 217 is .3 Amyloid is currently normal. I have a lot of “reserve” and a healthy 77 year old female. Neurologist will test again in January & is suggesting Kisunla if my scans are show more advance. I can’t decide if the 18 months of feeling crummy is worth it all. I’d love your opinion. Live fully now or save brain for slower progression of AD?

I decided not to pursue infusion because I have had a mini stroke which increases the risk of a brain bleed and benign positional vertigo which increases Rick of falling. If I was in my 60’s I would have taken the risk but I’m 80 and the process itself does not enhance your quality of life while you’re doing it. I hsve other health issues which already diminish that. My wife and I really struggled with this decision. So we’ll see what happens.
