Life goes on link
I was diagnosed with Alzheimers in Dec. 2017.
It is now Feb 11, 2022.
I am in my fifth year since the diagnosis was made.
I have kept to the plan of treatment quite well.
In fact, in Florida since Jan. 18 I have increased my walking and weight lifting. I seem to get tired easily.
My weight stays the same 188 to 190 lbs.
I skip breakfast and have good ketone levels.
Fasting glucose is between 150 to 200.
I rarely have a good glucose level. link
Diet, exercise, medications, supplements and sleep are doing well. I have vivid dreams which I enjoy.
I also keep up with listening to music and doing Duo Lingo in Spanish every day.
Anxiety is often a problem by noon.
My Manhattan anchor helps but I recently subsituted my second cup of coffee with a soothing tea.
Exercise helps.
The worse thing that can happen to my on any given day is to get into an argument with my wife.
The stress from the distress of the anger link causes depression.
My wife and I have done much better at not engaging in anger.
I do feem my short term memory is worse and I was hoping adding on 10 mg of Aricept would help.
Annual visit to Florida Neurologist link
The RX cost $1400.
I am waiting for the generic version now.
Hence I am always tintering with my plan.
I am afraid to stop all my supplements.
I continue with testosterone and Cialis link.
It's one of the few drugs that I can actually see the good effect it has on me.
Ozempic is another weekly injection that clearly curbs my appetite.
I also see positive lab results with statin, fish oil and nicotinic acid.
I think Invokana has saved my life by lowering my glucose.
I avoid falling off the cliff with the anticoagulant, Xarelto (I have Atrial Fibrillation)
I also keep my systolic blood pressure less that 120 with ramipril and a calcium blocker.
