my wife she posted this ted talk on facebook this week
i clicked on it and watched it
the person doing the ted talk
is
lisa genova
a neuroscientist
the author of the book
still alice
which was made into a movie
julianne moore won an oscar for her part
in this well done easy to understand ted talk
she explains alzheimers disease
how it develops
how we are trying to treat it
how we can prevent it
or
have heard me talk before
should recognize that all this seems real familiar
as
its what i talked about
maybe without the great slide presentation she used
folks
the more you understand about alzheimers disease
the easier it is to handle the diagnosis
in a loved one
or
yourself
so watch this
is if you want to understand how alzheimers develops
how you can SLOW it down
or
maybe PREVENT it
i am a week out from my last infusion in the aducanumab study
the only side effect i have noticed is an extreme fatigue that
seems to hit me in the afternoon and evening
i know i know
i have always fallen asleep on folks
dating back to my early 20s
but this seems different
i am hoping its due to the drugs effect
and
not some placebo phenomena
also
i am in the processing of getting a transfer to another facility
in california to finish the study
so that i wont have to make those trips back to dallas each
month for 4.5 years
i am hoping for ucla
i should find out soon
we my wife she and i have made the decision that
this drug has too much potential for me and others
that we will do what it takes to finish the study
i will be doing the

team name is organicgreendoctor
