My Alzheimer's Journey
Week In Review - May 29, 2026
Hello, Friends!
This has been a busy and somewhat frustrating week for Linda and me.
Linda continues to have physical therapy in our apartment. It seems to be going according to plan. She is using a wheelchair less and a walker more.
My infusion went well Tuesday. I had no side effects Tuesday afternoon. About 1:00 am Wednesday, I became nauseated. About 5:00 am, I had severe pain (muscle aches) in my forearms. This pain continued throughout the day. I had to reschedule a doctor appointment.
I felt much better Thursday. Linda and I acted like cats all day. Long naps with breaks for a snack.
Early this morning, I woke with muscle aches in my right leg. I find it interesting that my Lecanemab infusion side effects are generally delayed several days after the infusion.
At 10:00 am today, I had a biopsy at Duke Neurology as the first step in the Syn-One Test. This is a comprehensive lab test that detects abnormal proteins in cutaneous nerves to diagnose neurodegenerative disorders. There are indications that I may have some form of Parkinsonism. The Syn-One test will provide the answers.
After the biopsy, I went upstairs in the neurology building to the home of the i-MIND Research Group. I am joining the i-MIND study as a participant. In simple terms, this study is trying to learn if retinal images can diagnose neurological diseases. I wrote about the i-MIND study in Greg’s Alzheimer’s Research Report yesterday.
To wrap up the week, we learned that the scheduled closing on our South Carolina home is delayed by a few days. Rather than June 2, the closing will probably be June 4. I am told the delay is a minor issue.
