please can someone tell me if my results are serious (MRI)

Hello, and thank you for reading.

Last week i had my MRI results back and they are as follows - findings: multiple small high signal foci in the deep white matter and also in the corpus callosum bilaterally, these are seen on multiple sequences, also visual on diffusion imaging. The appearances are non-specific, however these could represent demyelination in the appropriate clinical and biochemical setting.
Conclusion: multiple high signal abnormalities in the brain particularly in the white matter this could represent demyelination.

My dr has referred me to see a neurologyst in 29 days. I'm so scared as my dr mentioned M.S!! i'm in such panic, i have cared for my grandmother who has M.S. and the thought of having it myself scares me so much! i have to wait 29 days for my appointment. Please can any one tell me if my results suggest that it is highly likely it is MS? or can it be something else?

about 3 years ago the left side off my face drooped down i was told it was bells poulsey,it has happened again this year but not so bad as the first time. My dr sent me to have a MRi and now with the above results i find myself in this situation. I would be most grateful if somebody could reply. could just be bells poulsey?

Kindest of regards
Raffaele

Don't be scared, MS is not a untreatable disease. I was told I had MS 7 years ago. It is very important get in with a good doctor. Check out the clinical study, these are free and you will be asighned a panel of doctors that will provide you with the information to take control of your life. I just completed a year long study for Tovaxin. This I believe to be the cure. They draw your blood look for T cells that are fighting MS and grow them in the lab and give you back your own T cells. If MS is what you have it is important to get on meds as soon as possible to make sure the flare ups are stopped, and limit the amount of damage done to nerves. I also use bendryl to help. Bleach, or strong chemicals, Lysol can cause problems. Hope this helps.

Hi Raffaele,

The biggest thing is to try to remain calm. I have MS but MS does not have me. I am 49 and I am not in a wheel chair. Eat lots of healthy food. It could be anything from you have had a stroke in the past to the onset of MS or earlier onset alzehelmers or just something to keep an eye on due to family history and just something left over from the bells palsy. So in the meantime I reccommend lots of broccoli spinach high oxident fruit like strawberries stuff like that green tea is also good will help your body to repair those spots and get rid of them. Rest get lots of sleep plenty of fluids and stay away from stress young lady your body needs all the help it can get to kick the butt of what ever that is so you feel me. Now relax and remember to take some deep cleansing breathes. I know it is scarey been there done that and believe me that panic can get you because the what if's are knocking on your brain. Shut it off don't let it read a book go for a walk anything give your brain a rest here and there the more stress your under the harder it is on your body. Hugs Mary
