PLZ DRS. RESPOND!! BRAIN MRI AT BOTTOM is it all in my head HELP!
Over two+ yrs I have presented to doctors w/ mult. symptoms. Tremors hands/legs, loss of words & recall, garbled speech occ., frequently not understanding what's said - but my hearing is good, stammering for words, loosing thoughts, at times loosing my balance - not falling, along w/ going thru 4-6 names before i get the right family members name (my own kids) sometimes not even realizing I have said the wrong one. I can loose thoughts mid sentence & freq. do. I was great w/ faces & names & now struggle. I'm very frustrated. I was good at speaking and excelled in making a point, now I am a bumbling idiot most the time, but hey, i make ppl laugh (at my expense).
Typing takes forever oft. hitting keys 2-3x & mispelling things now. I played many sports pretty well - full ride scholars., grad. OU w/ honors, now I can't seem to carry on an intelligent convo. w/ a 3 y.o. : / at least I love kids!
11-06 Brain MRI .7 T
'NORMAL except 2 Sabaceous cysts = 1 cyst right frontal, 1 cyst posterior left '
1-2008 Brain MRI 3.o TESLA
"The ventricular and cisternal spaces are normal for age. Ten to 15 tiny foci of signal abnornality are seen predominately in the juxtacortical white matter. Several lie in the deeper parietal white matter. No lesions are seen adjacent to the ventricles or within the corpus collosum. No abnormal enhancement or intracranial mass is seen. The paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear.
IMPRESSION: Multiple tiny foci of signal abnormalty in the juxtacortical white matter of the parietal lobes represent a on-specific finding which could indicate early small vessel occlusive disease. The pattern of distribution is not classic for a demylelinating disorder.
The remainder of the study is unremarkable."
Meds: B12 inj. x1 p/mo, Prozac 40 mg, Aciphex 20mg x2day
flxril 10mg- pm (L4,L5,S1 fusion 9/07 rods/pins), tylenol extra OCC.
