For the past month I've been in this ride where rheumatoid arthritis is causing me brain damage on a common  basis.
It's called vaschulitis and it causes the blood vessels to inflame and then clot and then cause strokes.  Nasty, nasty disease.
At first when I was diagnosed with RA I thought it was typical joint pain.  Granted a bitch but with medicine it was doable.
Now I am afraid to sleep because it seems to have the damage when I'm asleep and stop breathing.  Not stop breathing you say.  Doesn't that seem to to an unnatural phenomena? I guess not.
Pay attention to the headaches.  Didn't have them forever but when they came.....they came like a mother.  Probably started in 2012 and then moving on.The amount of damage is bringing me to a place where things are getting worse.  I need to look at the edges. Kris
