I have Cerebral Small Vessel Disease: How are you coping?

The doctors suggested a low fat diet? Did they say any thing about exercise? Five years ago I used to run about 3 miles a day. The things I've read make me think that that kind of thing may be a thing of the past. My eyes are acting up. Some days it feels as if I have someone else glasses on. ( I don't wear glasses.) I've lived a fairly healthy life, no smoking, regular exercise and stuff like that but I am almost 60 and it is a progressive disease. They've recently moved my appointment up to June 20th. I'm glad about that. I want to hear what Mayo has to say.

maybe you need to wear glasses - most people over 50 do. you might find the properly prescribed glasses would hep a lot - apart from which the optician woul by able to answer any questions you have, I hope this helps.

Hi, I was diagnosed with csvd 3 years ago. I had an episode of off balance, dizziness, lose of bladder a nd bowel, heavy sweating, diagnosed with having had a stroke. I feel at this point it's effected my everyday life. At the time I was shocked with it...but now, I am tired, lack of energy, off balance, very sore eyes as well now. Also heart palpitations ...I think it's worsening...At the 3 rdyear point. Up to last year I was walking 35 miles a week. Chopped a nd stacked my own wood.. Now I am weak...it's frightening. How do you keep going with this.
