Hi Keith,
Have not been tested for CAD.
In retrospect, it's easy to see a slight change over the last three years with employment history and other things. One year ago, I had a barrage of symptoms that ended up leading to an MS diagnosis, but my memory caused my neurologist to persist with more tests. An aEEG confirmed his suspicions of CSVD. He has just prescribed Oxcarbazepine which I hate with a passion, too many side effects, I see him again in April when I believe he will give me the dreaded 'D' diagnosis. I would love to know if this is hereditary as dementia as well as Alzheimer's runs in my mom's side of the family heavily.
As for your situation, do you take specific medications for either CAD or CSVD? Or just meds to control symptoms?
I appreciate the contact, any information is GREATLY appreciated.
Hang in there.

Hi, @arenee - wondering how things are going for you with the symptoms you were experiencing and the oxcarbazepine?
