Where Did My Short-Term Memory Go?
Discover why short-term and working memory problems persist after Leqembi treatment and learn practical, science-based strategies to improve daily function and independence with Alzheimer's.
Ever Walk into a Room and Forget Why?
Have you ever walked into a room and suddenly wondered why you went there; one of those moments when your feet know where to go, but your brain doesn’t? For many of us living with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s, these lapses can feel unsettling, even a little scary. Yet they’re also clues about how our brains are changing and how we can learn to support them. As I moved into the maintenance phase of my Leqembi treatment, I began to understand these moments in a new way, and what I discovered has reshaped how I navigate daily life.
The Hidden Memory System That Can Help Fight Alzheimer's
Once we’ve started Leqembi or Kisunla we are anxious to see improvement in our AD symptoms and many of us do see improvement. That improvement is not because memory has been restored, it is because with mild cognitive impairment our brains can still relearn and to some extent starts doing that when we shift our thoughts to fixing what we have lost. We can and should begin and continue to repair ADs damage to prolong our independence as long as possible. I’ve written an article that I think may help you understand the power than only you have to repair what has been lost.
