Re: "Well-Being with Dementia: Help, Hope and Inspiration"
Wow, what an impactful, kind and actionable book! I scrolled through the free pdf and then ordered this fairly priced paperback book "Pathways to Well-being with Dementia..." for myself and for my daughter-in-law, who is caring for her father with dementia. Especially powerful, as well as ...

Re: AHEAD 3-45 STUDY CLINICAL TRIAL (LECANEMAB - BAN 2401)
Wow! It feels as though the Berlin Wall of Alzheimer's Disease is falling! Not a perfect analogy by far, but my having looked across the bleak Berlin Wall DMZ at machine gunners in towers decades ago from tiny West Berlin comes to mind, inspiring me to be outspoken about my own E4/4 status and my sc...

Re: New from Canada
Welcome to this marvelous forum from a fellow Canadian, brave Lebcar! Both of my parents were diagnosed with Alzheimer's in their mid-70s, several years before they died. Many close relatives also died with, but not necessarily due to, dementia. So in my mid-60s I signed up for 23andme testing. As a...

Re: Covid vaccine safety for 4/4’s?
Hooray and thanks or all the good news and vaccination stories! My husband and I had our second dose of Pfizer 10 days ago, with just sore arms, a bit of dizziness and mild chills that night. SO relieved to be building our immunity and feeling safer from severe COVID - or death, especially hearing s...

Re: New here. Should I get tested?
Hello, Apollos, and welcome to this terrific forum! With apologies for this belated message, I would like to inject a clear note of caution on the question of getting tested yourself in your early 30s. After caring for my parents with Alzheimer's for several years each, I definitely wanted to unders...

Re: 4 drugs which may get approval in 3-5 years
Wow!!!! Sign me up for the 4th drug, ALZ-801, which is administered orally and is getting ready for its Phase 3 trial. Many thanks to NF52 for the very readable and encouraging news! I have been joining a few interesting studies myself lately, including a Lipid MRI study next week that involves drin...

Re: Strawberries and 34% lower risk of AD in Rush Memory Cohort
This thread is my hands-down forum favorite! I relish all the information sharing, the brilliant arguments presented, the clearly strong personalities, the underlying good humor and respect for differing conclusions and decisions, and the brave journey to brain health each one of us undertakes anew ...

Re: Any danger in sharing APOE e4/e4 status
Hoo boy, this is a subject near and dear to my extremely risk-averse heart! I have told my children absolutely not to get tested with 23andme or any related service. Our health records are increasingly centralized and open to hacking, as recent breaches have shown. At some point in the near future I...

Re: My aunt just died of Alzheimer’s
Dear Brain, I just now saw your post and want to add my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your wonderful, smart and beloved Aunt Rosemary. She clearly lived life on her own terms and fiercely loved her connection with you and the rest of her family. Having cared for both of my parents and helping...
