Small vessel ischemic white matter disease

Is dementia inevitable? Does anything help the symptoms? It seems to affect everything, balance, walking, talking, thinking, fatigue! I don’t seem to be able to concentrate on anything and strangely I can be talking with someone and instantly I am asleep! Maybe only a minute or so but…. Any help ideas?

Have you looked at Sleep Apnea? You may need a CPAC unit.

Good morning, my husband has the same symptoms. He can be texting a friend and then he's a sleep (or lack of consciousness), drop his iphone and not finish his thought process. He had an MRI and he has a pineal cyst in his brain. This cyst deals with your sleep cycle and could cause seizures. We are dealing with this since last year and he is on seizure medications. We are still trying to get answers on what caused this issue. We are currently waiting to see a Head Trauma doctor. Something has happened between the heart and the brain.
If I were you, I would ask for an MRI of the brain and see where that leads you too. You are not alone out there.
