Too bad, my genetic inheritance seems to have been enough to skew the Amyloid-Beta balance early on. Luckily, I was recruited to the aducanumab-study for four years (a precursor of lecanemab with more severe side-effects), and probably got some more years to be able to think things like these.</p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/alzheimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alzheimer</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/medical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>medical</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/APOE4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APOE4</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/alzForum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alzForum</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/dementia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dementia</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/ad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ad</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/alzheimers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alzheimers</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/amyloid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amyloid</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/lecanemab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lecanemab</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/aducanumab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aducanumab</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/prevention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prevention</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/cure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cure</span></a></p>
