My dad had to stop the Leqembi infusions because of brain swelling and bleeding about a month ago. I have noticed his personality changed towards me negatively and not at my mom. His next doctor's appointment is in June. I will contact his doctors then. Is this a normal occurrence from leqembi or this the progression of Alzheimers? Any tips or info would be greatly helpful.

    Are you the one tasked with making a lot of the decisions about him ( and maybe your mom too)? Because the fact that I was doing that made my step-dad very resentful of me. I took them to the appointments. The doctor tended to ask me stuff about them after he talked directly to them. I was the one handling the checkbook, etc.

    You just have to grow a thick skin because they lose their empathy, reasoning, filters, etc.
