Hello, my name is Laurie. I am diagnosed with Alzheimers. I'm 61 yrs old. My doctor wants to start me on an infusion course of meds. Has or is anyone doing this? We're you able to get insurance for it.
Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to this online support group, Laurie. I hope you and the other members will post and share with each other.

    There are not many members on the infusions, since they are new. Another new member did post about beginning. I will look for thst thread. Please keep us updated on your progress.
