Has anyone heard about or tried Kisunla infusions? It’s supposed to halt dementia symptoms (I don’t know for how long) but not reverse it. I’ve read that the success rate is high. It is FDA approved since 2024. There is a process you go through before knowing if you’re a good candidate. Would love to hear experiences. TIA
Hello, it's been a year or so since my Mom passed away from Alzheimer's. Now a family member is insinuating that my Dad might have Alzheimer's. He wakes up with a humming sound, is that a indication of Alzheimer's? Please respond.

We are going to do more sessions (virtually since I don't drive)…
My last post disappeared, so I'll try to keep this one brief. Betty is a sweet friend of mine. An ex-school teacher, she is very smart, very kind and upbeat. I've been providing paid "companion care" for her this past year or so, 2 to 4 days a week. Her memory has been getting progressively worse for the last year or two,…
I am a friend and part-time paid caregiver to 80 year old Betty, who is very newly diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's, primarily manifesting now in short-term memory losses. Betty is financially secure, but has few family members; she's outlived those closest to her, yet there are a few extended family members, most of…
My husband is 70 and was recently diagnosed with “MCI due to Alzheimer’s” after going to the doctor after experiencing memory issues. He had an MRI, then PET scan, which led the neurologist to his diagnosis and starting Aricept. (This is our first week on it.) (The dr also suggested he think about infusion therapy, which…
My DW has mild symptoms and will begin infusions soon. We are both anxious and would appreciate any information from others who may be able to tell us about their experiences with this treatment or where we may be able to find personal stories. Many thanks!
