Scattered small foci of abnormal high T2 signal intensity in right frontal lobe

Scattered small foci of abnormal high T2 signal intensity in right frontal lobe

So, I've been having weird symptoms off and on.  Stress brings it on, working out and getting exhausted.  People ask if I have MS.  My neuro says this is all just stress.  I feel like I'm getting worse.  My second MRI shows no change from 6 months earlier even though I feel as though I am worse.  Am I just crazy?  I lose coordination and I can't talk right - the words come out jumbled.

I am going thru the same thing, but am being referred to another neuro. for a 2nd opinion. Stress cannot cause all of these symptoms, of course it doesn't help them, but I know it's more than just 'stress.' Don't give up!

Thanks for your support.  I am trying but I do feel insane!  I worked out at Curves and 3/4 of the way through, I started losing my coordination...head shaking...speech off.  It was warmer today and that affects me.  I don't understand how stress can cause all these symptoms.  I still have not recovered. I still am having problems with coordination and it's been 5 hours since the end of the workout.  I burned around 400+ calories so I was really working hard.

Dehydration may coause this sometimes.
To have this symptoms in a continuos way the causes are: head injury, stroke with high blood pressure, lesions in brain etc.
As both your MRIs are normal the Neurophysican thinks it is stress related. Have a stress free life, read books, concentrate on other important daily things, have a balanced diet, salt restricted diet, required quantity of water intake, no alcohol, no smoking and if these symptoms do not improve then neurophysician should see for other methods of diagnosis.

Hi,
Good luck with your son.  I have ataxia, which is loss of coordination.  It's all on my left side.  We just don't know why I have ataxia. Hopefully your new neuro will be able to help your son.  I have a new one and he is terrific and relentless.  I've seen so many other doctors but I may never know why I have ataxia or what my path will be.
