Infusions

Hello we are deciding whether or no to get the infusions for early Alzheimer . Any input please . Husband was a combat medic , cancer survivor and 74

  1. Many countries have rejected these drugs. Lequembi and Kinsahasa. Are both very expensive drugs that require much testing and long frequent infusions.

    I rejected because of potential brain bleeds.

    Please read “the lever” for independent info about this. ( it’s free) I will try to post a link.

    won’t let me post the link. “The Lever Alzheimer’s Leqembi ”



    1. Look up those words together, in quotes, in a search engine . If you can’t find it right to me and I will try to post the article some other way.

      1. Hi , a few of our members have written about their experience with infusion therapy. You can read their stories and connect at these link:

        1. My wife finished 36 month Leqembi protocol and now maintenance dose monthly. Zero problems and has scored same cognitive test score for 3 years. It is expensive - but Medicare covers cost for both drug and infusion center. Might have some risks - but for me a godsend.

          1. , I'm so glad that you and your wife have had such great success with Leqembi. Thank you for sharing with us. I know some members have expressed concern over side effects. So sharing real time experiences are very helpful. - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
