Dx of AZ in Dec .2017
I was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2017 which means I have had it for 6.5 years.
I can tell I am get worse mentally.
I am content because I don't have pain and I pass the time with TV and movies.
I have a wonderful dog, a Newfoundland about 8 years old. A perfect dog for an older couple.
My wife and I watch a lot of movies and she helps me keep track of the characters.
We finished the sixth season of Shetland.
In July a promising new drug is comimg out for AZ.
It is for early dementia. Might be too late for me but I look forward to taking it.
I have read some books. A 4 book series of fantasy books by Chris Paolini.
A 3 book series about Scotand by Peter May.
I have enjoyed these books.
My goal is to back to being able to walk around my block which is one mile long.
Constipation become a challenge for me. I hope walking will halp. My coke floats help,
I still take all the Recode suppliments that Bredesen advises in his book.
Update on weight and Alzheimers
https://meandgin.blogspot.com/2021/11/i-finally-broke-through-my-weight.html link
I stay at 204 lbs.
I don't eat much. Yet I don't lose weight. I drink two protein drinks a and am doing some ribbon exercise
Perhaps due to Ozempic 1 cc a week.
I can go up to 2 mg Ozempic
a week. Get better glucose control.
My fasting glucose this a AM was 135 on Invokana and long acting Insulin 25 units
I bought a fit bit to increase my walking.
