I have an appointment tomorrow for a Neurology consultation with Scott Speelziek, M.D . At Mayo about my CMVD. What question should I ask?

Good luck with the appointment tomorrow. Frankly, I think you outlined some pretty darn good questions in your previous post:
- "What does 'Subcortical and periventricular white matter T2/FLAIR signal abnormality in keeping with sequela of chronic ischemic microvascular change' mean in plain English?
- At what stage of the disease am I?
- Where is it located?
- What else do I need to know?

To that list you might also want to ask
- What tests do I need?
- What treatments are available and which do you recommend for me?
- I have other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
- What are the next steps?

And you might also want more info about the Tapestry study
- Why was I chosen to participate in Mayo Clinic's Tapestry Study?
- What are the benefits to me and to science if I choose to participate?
- Are there any risks or burdens on me to participating?

I look forward to hearing what you learn.
