Dear Lisa, I was recently diagnosed with small vessel disease and am looking for support. I have lots of appointments with doctors, but all they say is there's nothing I can do but exercise to keep the blood flowing in my brain, sleeping well and eating well. I am definitely doing that, but am still exhausted and mentally confused and with a sore scalp and some headaches. Is there really nothing else to try? I live in the Seattle area if anyone knows of someone knowledgeable about csvd in this area who might be accepting patients? I'd be interested in being in a research study or something, but it seems to be almost impossible to even get an appointment at the University of Washington. Thank you for your caring and time, Bonnie
