I have Cerebral Small Vessel Disease - so far caused loss of balance

Posted by sue60 @sue60, Apr 11, 2016

I have vascular small vessel disease that so far just has caused a severe loss of balance. I walk with a cane, but it is getting harder. Likewise exercise is not easy. I still drive short distances. I feel perfectly normal lying down and it is so much easier to do that. The sad part is I don't really see anything that is going to end this as otherwise I am healthy. I know there are many worse things. Does anyone else have this and how are you coping?

Hi @sue60, welcome to Connect.
I'd like to connect you with @caregiver49, who is also dealing with small vessel disease and would like to talk with others. Her biggest issue at the moment is with unrelenting fatigue.

Sue, do you struggle with fatigue as well?
