Jim Sirois and his wife 告訴する. Jim was 診断するd with 早期に-onset Alzheimer's more than three years ago and, since starting donanemab, his 病気 'really hasn't 進歩d'

患者s and families 伴う／関わるd in 裁判，公判s of a blockbuster new dementia 麻薬 say it finally 申し込む／申し出s 苦しんでいる人s a sliver of 'hope'.

Jim Sirois, now 67, from Connecticut, was 診断するd with 早期に-onset Alzheimer's in 2020 after struggling to sp eak and becoming so forgetful he couldn't remember where he had been the day before.

An 早期に Alzheimer's diagnosis usually signals that 早い 悪化／低下 is to come. Memory, thinking, judgment, language, problem-solving, personality and movement all begin to be 影響する／感情d by the 病気 as it 進歩s and, until now, no 麻薬s have been able to stop it.?

患者s 普通は 悪化する 速く at?this point ― with no 麻薬s having been 利用できる to 停止（させる） the 拒絶する／低下する for １０年間s.?But Mr Sirois was 入会させるd in the 麻薬 arm of a 臨床の 裁判，公判 of the groundbreaking new 麻薬 donanemab, which his wife says has 効果的に 停止（させる）d the 条件 over the past year.?

告訴する Sirois, 64, said:?'I compare Jim's 拒絶する／低下する to a friend I know who was 診断するd with Alzheimer's at age 56.?She died recently, and only lasted six years, 反して Jim is now over three years in and he is now still pretty much the same as what he was.'

裁判，公判s of donanemab?showed it slows the progression of Alzheimer's by up to 60 パーセント compared to a placebo, giving 患者s months of precious extra healthy life.?

But some doctors have struck a 用心深い トン, 説 that the 伸び（る）s for most 患者s are ごくわずかの - for example, it only 延期するs the より悪くするing of symptoms for just over half a year on 普通の／平均（する）.?

However, Mrs Sirois said after １０年間s of failed 裁判，公判s and no new 麻薬s, donanemab finally gives 患者s 'hope'.?

She told DailyMail.com: 'I would say those who have an 適切な時期 to get this 麻薬 should go for it and get it because what else do you have? What other hope do you have? This 麻薬 is the only hope that people have 権利 now - there is no other hope for the 病気.'

Myra Garcia, from southern California, pictured above with her husband Richard, was also put on the drug after being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. She told DailyMail.com that everyone who gets the chance should take the drug
