Favorable WSJ article on New AZ drug link
Very optimistic article.
Could it be a pro-business article? Helping Big Pharma?
With my neurologist we decided to hold off on new drug
(since I was heterozygous w Apoe4 gene) for 6 months.
I read TATTOO ON MY BRAIN by a neurologist who was dx w AZ 5 years ago.
He had an ARIA reaction to the drug and ended up in the ICU.
With high dose steroids he recovered.
Ripping off the amyloid in a patient that is homozygous positive ApoE4 caused inflammation and microhemorrhages.
He had a bad decline with his AZ..
However with high dose steroids he recovered and seemed to be better mentally than before.
Perhaps this is a way to approach treating AZ. Get a strong reaction to the drug then decrease inflammation with high dose steroids.
Kudos to Dr Daniel Gibbs for publishing this idea in his book.
