The problem with this treatment is that it would cost $56,000 a year!! However, The FDA said the approval of Aduhelm is based on a "surrogate endpoint" that the drug effectively removed amyloid plaque from the brain. Such an endpoint predicts but does not measure whether the drug will slow memory or thinking decline. Are there trials where someone could participate?

My husband will watch the SAME movie three and four times in a row and watches that same movie for four to,six weeks!
Then he will pick another movie and do,the same thing all over again!

Yesterday was a "Groundhog Day" of repetitive questions, with my hubby. This has happened before, but not quite like yesterday. When I told him that he had already asked that question 20 times, and that I had already answered it 20 times, he still insisted that he's just fine. (And it happened with more than one question.)

But after answering 20 times, I lose my patience. If I yell, then he "wakes up" and sometimes the answer will penetrate, but I feel just terrible afterward, and it makes… read more

My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year. We moved her to assisted living & she is miserable. Her drinking was bad before, but is worse than ever now. How do you get an 84 year old woman with Alz to go through treatment?

My husband was diagnosed 4 years ago and just before Christmas he has become increasingly confused and agitated as the daylight fades. Endlessly asking when he is going home etc etc. What is the best way to help him out and handle this please, Sue Arden

No one can tell me how long more he will have. Has anyone any insight. My husband had signs from 2013 and was diagnosed in 2015.

My spouse often acts like a toddler, when I say "no don't do that" he pouts. He picks his nose and then puts his finger in his mouth, and when inside our home he asks if he can pee in the backyard, how can I say something that won't be so harsh that it has me sound like a Mom saying no, that's gross? Plus I'm pretty negative when he does pout.

My husband is in later stage but is still mobile, feeds himself, enjoys people but not very verbal. He just has lost interest in drinking any kind of liquids.
