strokes

I have had two so called strokes in 45days.  With 24-48 hours I am pretty much recovered.  On a MRI it said small vessel disease changes in white matter.  Does that mean I will keep on having them .  I quite smoking 4 months ago.  I take medicine for all the disease you mention.  So now what can I expect.

The white matter changes are the the scar tissue residue left after the strokes. It does not mean you will keep having them - that depends on the risk factors.

White matter changes can be so many things from migraines on up, so they have to be diagnosed by the doctor.

You will have to stay on the meds, stay monitored, and reduce the risk factors as best you can. My mom had them for uncontrolled diabetes.
