mri report ...... please tell me what to do

Hi everyone,I am 24 years old I am a student

I am wondering if anyone suffers from similar problems and can offer help. Of course if you don't suffer I would still appreciate any advice and help, I am quite desperate after suffering for 1 years!. i am fed up with concerning doctors.

I suffer from daily occurrences of what feels like a confused and lost head which coincides with red, sore eyes. It comes at different times of the day though I would say it happens regularly in the morning and afternoon and maybe again in the evening. It can last around 1-2 hour or more and it effects my concentration not even able to study and difficulty in learning anything  thats why it is irritating, also my eyes get red and irritated, and i feel disoriented and i lose concentration.




BRAIN MRI report on 1.5 tesla 8 channel unit says:
1) subcentrimeteric focal cystic hyperintense foci on T2 & hypointense on T2 FLAIR & T1 with no evidence of blooming on GRE or restricted diffusion on DWI noted in left tegmentum of mid brain & left postero-medial thalamus.-suggestive of chronic ischemic lesion versus prominent virchow robin spaces.
2)rest of cerebral hemisphere show normal MR morphology, signal intensity and grey-white matter diffrentiation.
3)both lateral ventricles and third ventricle are normal in size.
4)cerebellar hemispheres are showing normal MR morphology, signal intensity and outline.
5)fourth ventricle is normal in size and midline in position.
6)basal cistern are normally visualized.
7)no midline shift is seen.
8)sella is normal in size.

Agreed with increase in Vitamin D. Who ordered the last MRI? Have you discussed the findings with a Neurologist?

Hello, I hope you find what you are looking for!

Has Multiple Sclerosis (MS) been ruled out?
Less alarming: how are your sleep patterns, and do you have other symptoms to these affecting sensation in your arms and legs or headaches?
Things to note to yourself and drs: sleep patterns, medications, diet, how symptoms have changed in the last year or progressed.

24 is a common age for MS to start up, with symptoms like brain fog, concentration problems, sore eyes. "chronic ischemic lesion" causes me to think of MS, as the rest of the MRI scan sounds "normal". Vision and eye problems are usually one of the first notable symptoms because of inflammation of the optic nerve. It is common in this disease to have a significant vitamin D deficiency. Please go on a good dose of Vitamin D as this is always helpful when there is a deficiency. Please keep track of your symptoms and times they occur in a notebook! I myself have a neurological condition called Chiari Malformation so I often research neurological symptoms and myself have symptoms similar to MS. My close friend and uncle both have MS so I've seen their symptoms first hand.

Your situation can of course be something much less alarming, but you sound urgent in needing help and these symptoms have been going on for over a year! I wish you the best of luck and feel free to ask me any questions. I am a 23 year old college student with neuro issues- and it IS TOUGH!!
