@nicolehf, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad and your loss.

I can understand your concerns about the hereditary nature of dementia and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Sometimes there is a genetic risk factor, but not in all cases. As you said, you can't live in fear, but you can equip yourself with knowledge. It is possible to find out your Dad's exact diagnosis? If you knew that there is a genetic risk factor, would you live your life differently?

I have a question about amyloid angiopathy. I have been having a bad headache for the last few days and then on monday I had an incident. I was driving home which was only about 3 miles and in a neighborhood that I've lived in for 30 years. I was driving down the street heading for the street to turn and i couldn't figure out where to turn. I knew the street should be there but I couldn't figure where it was or even what the name was. Is it possible this could be caused by this disease-bleeding in the brain?
