right. There is one type that is rare and inherited; that can set in
as early as 30. But for the rest they are not sure though they
suspect a genetic prediposition. There seems to be something there
about a series of small strokes too, so cutting down on risk factors
for those should help. I am reminding myself that one (possible) risk
factor does not predestination make :)

Genetic vs. Environment is an argument that will go on forever and
will end up with genetic predispositions to something with an
environmental trigger.

I thought they were still saying they had no evidence for a genetic
link? Obviously this is of interest to me too, although the fact that
the cases in my family being all in the same generation has me
thinking something environmental.

Cool! Especially considering both my grandfathers had it. I had just
resigned myself to getting jiggy with it in my old age, but this could
keep me the immovable lump I am today.
