Hopefully by now you have learned a bit more. Mild CSVD can be found on many scans and is often not symptomatic . Extensive disease is treated by keeping Blood Pressure and cholesterol controlled. I don’t think much is understood about it as brain diseases like MS, Parkinson, ALS, ME, etc. seem to share many symptoms. Since you have mild ischemia perhaps your GP could be helpful. Your neurologist may see your brain changes but not be able to offer more than your GP could. Meds for cholesterol, BP and depression if necessary are commonly prescribed by your family Dr. Best wishes

My MRI said I have Mild Chronic SVD. I have many symptoms and have had them for 4 to 5 years. I have been to doctors telling them something is wrong with my thinking. I have trouble at work remembering what I have done and not done. I don't remember lots of conversations. There are days I have trouble writing emails. I fell out of bed a few months ago and then fell down the stairs after getting out of bed a few weeks ago, so my balance is off at times. I also wake up with mild headaches most morning and sometimes it followed up with dizziness to the point of getting an upset stomach. I am still waiting to get an appointment with a neurologist. I know very little about what is happening to me.
