Tomorrow afternoon is Leqembi infusion #10. You'd think by now I wouldn't be so anxious about it. I've been taking anti-anxiety medication since the beginning, but ANXIOUS I am! I have all these racing thoughts, feel everything and nothing all at the same time. I know how that sounds, but it's the only way to describe it. I've been talking to a therapist who specializes/primary focus is patients like us. He's been helping me with processing my diagnosis, but I stay in fight or flight mode. I realize that's not a healthy place to be, but I can't help it. I can't be the only one that feels this way. Am I? Anyway, thanks for listening 💜

    I didn't go with the drugs but I guess I decided that I wanted to spend my time doing things and not becoming on the drugs too increase my time which I'm not sure whether he will get much more or not but I don't have agenti anything about this I'm doing things like flying pick on football I gain bicycling a little bit and just doing things and trying to enjoy the time owner I have you may get more time and I don't know if you know at the end when you're if you'll have more time quality time more or not that's it kind of crap shoot when you have the disease but whenever you do try and enjoy it because you only had 11 life to live and I hope you're further best I could be doing the wrong thing take care
