– QUESTIONS FROM “JOEY PALS” FOR NEXT TIME.
1. is there a drug called Lacanemab that cures Alz? (No, but it is a second approved treatment that addresses the underlying biologoy of Alz and changes the course of the disease.).
2. If you take sleeping pills will that ward off Alz? (Nothing stops Alzheimers. Can impact your memory. Drowsiness, confusion and memory problems…even the over-the-counter ones. For older folks this can cause falls, broken hips, car accidents.).
3. Can picking your nose increase your chances of getting Alzheimers? (Yes, it can lead to bacteria that travels through the olfactory nerve in the nose and into the brain.)
