Good afternoon. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the Holiday season.
I'm interested in hearing everyone's experience with aducanumab (Aduhelm) or lecanemab (Leqembi). If you were in a clinical trial or are currently receiving one of these treatments, could you share your experience here? Do you notice any improvements? Side effects?

Thank you!

    Based on the lecanemab clinical trial, the drug is more effective in slowing down decline in men than in women.

    That’s good to know. I may be part of a study called mib-???? I completely forgot the numbers to this. Sorry. It is niacin which is something they’re trying to see if this works for decline. If I am eligible I will start in about 8 weeks due to other vitamins I am on and will have to stop. Them with my doctor’s permission I will be able to participate in this study.
