Your comment was written quite a long time ago. How are you doing? what have you learned about CMD that you can pass on to me to get me through this first phase till I get to a neurologist, and how much has it affected your life.
Thanks

@debbic715 I wanted to share with you that the best way to notify a member that you are responding to them is to use the "Reply" button under their comment and/or use their handle (for example, yours is @debbic715). I hope that helps!

Unfortunately there is not much you can do other than maintain a healthy life style. My neurologist said that you can not roto root your brain to clear out the areas of ischemia. He just doubled my daily aspirin. I had another scary mini stroke several weeks ago and another MRI showed additional infarctions. I'm only 64 but am afraid that since this is a chronic condition that over time it will take its toll. My CAC score is over 1000 so my coronary arteries are blocking as well, but at least there are treatment options for that. Just try to be positive since some things are beyond our control.
