Dear Dr. Keerthi, I suffered a mini-stroke some time ago. For some reason I began falling and ended up suffering two very severe concussions. I then started to have non-epileptic seizures as well as PCS. My neurologist (who I know longer see) put me through a series of tests. My contrast/no contrast showed that I was suffering from Chronic Ischemic Brain Disease however this was never discussed in full or explained to me by my previous neurologist. I was diagnosed at age 56. I have high blood pressure and did have high cholesterol. My memory is terrible and now I have fibromyalgia. I am too young to not be able to work and too young to have such fatigue. I know this disease is not reversible but no one has told me what to do to stop it from developing further. I am doing a lot of research online but nothing conclusive. I used to smoke but I do not smoke now. Try to eat healthy, do a little exercise and limit alcohol. I seem to be getting worse. Any advise you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated. I have even considered trying to find a clinical study being performed on people with this particular disease but does not seem to be anything going on in this area right now for clinical studies of the disease. Thank you in advance for your help. Sincerely, Elle
