Family History.

As long as I can remember my father has had severe migraines. When I was little I can remember he would get migraine auras causing one side of his body to go numb and if he didn't get caffeine and aspirin in time he would get debilitating headaches. One day when we were at the mall one whole side of his body went numb, his hand and his leg. In order to get to the car he had to drag his leg behind him. At the time we just kinda laughed as he was quite clumsy. I never realized that this was foreshadowing for the rest of his life. Four years ago he was diagnosed with CADASIL, within two years he had experienced so many strokes, big and small, that he had lost enough use of his leg that he now had to drag it for awhile, and now he has a limp.
In 4 short years my dad has gone from going to work everyday, driving, being what is considered "normal", to not being able to work, drive, having to attend speech, occupational, and physical therapy, being depressed, having problems making decisions, and being exceeding moody and tired at all times.
There is no real treatment or cure. So we are taking each day as it comes
