Thanks, Theresa. We have to make a decision on being in an open label trial for a drug similar to donanemab (remternetug) very soon, so this is great (although scary) info. Although remternetug supposedly is a "3rd generation" drug that isn't supposed to activate the body's immune respons...

I just did a medical DNA test and I scored CT on rs429358, as well as TC on rs669. The test I did told me I had a 6.6x increased likelihood of Alzheimers versus the average person. I'm 27 years old.

I'm not a neurologist, so can't really speak to what those would be, but edema that some people experience in anti-amyloid clinical trials has been shown to cause dizziness and appears as an &...

My doctors have ruled everything out from a blood clot in my brain (two CTs scans with and without contrast) to eye problems to inner ear issues. The current tentative diagnosis is meniere's disease, but I don't have the symptoms I rea...

I’m not even sure who I’m responding to but I’m trying to respond to Laurie. I was told to hit an icon but I’m not sure what that is. Is it one of the smiley faces?
