Cerebral Small Vessel Disease - How are you coping?

@karen252 I so understand what you’re xperiencing.
My doctor did an MRI because she suspected Mild Cognitive Impairment and it showed severe CSVD. This dx has so changed my life for the worse. I can’t stop dwelling on it. I am having a hard time finding a vascular neurologist and that doesn’t help.
So I’ve done a lot of research and have changed my diet and am exercising, however since my CSVD is severe I wonder if it is pointless.
Sorry to dump on you but I have no one to talk it over with.

So sorry to hear about your dx. Yeah, I am still waiting to get in to see my cardiologist as I do have high cholesterol, I do take medication for it, but I must need to be more aggressive in lowering it. I am not sure what other tests he will want to run. I am due for an Echo as I also have MVP. It is next to impossible to get in to see any kind of specialist. Keep exercising, diet, I would also try listening to music, and exercise your brain even if it is just doing an easy puzzle. Keep up the good fight.
