I have Cerebral Small Vessel Disease - so far caused loss of balance

Every little bit helps; it is just nice to be able to talk to people who are experiencing the same thing. I too have to concentrate on walking, especially in grassy areas. I seem to lilt to the left when I walk. I have gotten so I take my husband's hand whenever he is with me, that seems to help with the balance issue. It is frustrating not being able to do the things I used to do with ease and have to think about every move I make. I continue to try to bowl, not very good at it anymore but I bowl with ladies like me who are older and experiencing aging issues. That seems to help also. Good luck to you and Happy Easter.

Hi,
I find it remarkable that mostly it is the left leg that is problematic with a lot of people. I get intense migrains in the right rear of the brain which I believe is the motor control part of the brain. I'm not sure this has anything to do with anything, but it is just another symptom unexplained. Possibly CSVD is more advanced in some areas of the brain than others. I wonder if it relates to being right footed or left footed. I happen to be right footed. Just when I think I have a handle on my situation I'm forced to review my plight with yet another twist. The only end I see for me is to try and ignore it all, until I am no more.
Cheers
