Cadasil diagnosis
 

I have been having various symptoms for 2 years now. I have had two surguries for degenerative disk disease. After continued problems with fatigue, vertigo, walking, light sensitivity, eye issues, depression, memory issues and other things, they repeated a brain MRI. My MRI show over 25 small white matter areas. They have diagnosis this as Cadasil. They are arranging for insurance approval to complete the genetic testing. This is a rare disease and just trying to research more information, particulary if there is any treatment. I have an appointment at Cleveland Clinic in January 2010. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

I wish you well.

Well, I got results back from the DNA test they do for Cadasil. THe results were negative. The next thing will be to get surgery on my thoracic spine. Hopefully, this will fix some of the problems.

Hi again and here is the link to our Spinal Disorders Forum..http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum22.html

Hopefully you'll get some answers soon. :grouphug:

Hi, and Welcome to NT

I hope you're doing well these days.

It's always good to know what you don't have. :D

Surgery is no fun. I pray you have great results.
