Brain MRI and small vessel brain disease

@red79 I read through your posts and it looks like you had an appointment with a neurologist last October? Did the neurologist order imaging, an MRI? In my experience when someone is diagnosed with small vessel disease in the brain it warrants a discussion on how to prevent further disease. You wrote that you've had no follow-up with the neurologist you saw. Have you thought about getting a second opinion for a different neurologist?

I had a similar response from a neurologist after I was diagnosed with small vessel ischemic disease. He told me it's normal aging and that I was a depressed.
I went to a cardiologist and she had me wear a heart monitor for a month but found nothing abnormal.
My internist was the sole provider who was interested in investigating to learn the cause and ordered two more tests but they were normal.
I am going to a Memory Clinic at a teaching hospital now.
It's difficult not to doubt yourself.
