Since I have leukoaraiosis which eats away white matter instead of Alzheimer's which makes plaque, I wonder if there's anyone out there with leukoaraiosis who I can talk to.
How long have you known you have it? What are your symptoms?
Anything you’d like to talk about.
It appears to be a type of dementia.
Sorry, I wished I could offer some advice but I am not familiar with this.
Maybe, there will be someone here with knowledge of it that may can talk with you.
Hope you get some answers.
Blessings to you.
This is the only thing I could find under "white matter disease"...it's still under clinical study, so maybe too soon to come to any conclusions about it?

Did you received a diagnosis from a doctor? If so then don't you think this is who you should be directing your questions to?
but im finding information online now.
it’s progressive with nothing to be done except lowering blood pressure and cholesterol and may cause strokes. So ive hinted to my daughter and granddaughter to start information preparation. Havent told my husband yet since he’ll just get mad and give me a hard time.
thank you everybody who has responded and the future answerers.
i did find some interesting information tho my question will probably end up here again :(
whole lot of frowns there :(
thank you again.
