Today I start Leqembi infusions and I am very scared. I chose this because I was not going to sit back and wait for this to get going
Any suggestions ?

    I have been on Leqembi infusions since March 2026. The only time I had any discomfort was after the 1st infusion. I experienced mild flu like symptoms. Chills and aches. They lasted a few hours and that was it. It takes about 1 hours 15 minutes. The place I go has very nice recliners and its a very relaxing spot.
