Could I have MS?

by Annie1974, Apr 29, 2008 07:01AM
Hello and thank you for your time in reading this. I was recently in the hospital for a video EEG recording. If I back track even further, I had a regular hourly eeg  in February that was abnormal and showed seizure activity. Throughout all the time leading to the video recordings of the EEG, I havent ever had a grand mal or major seizure. They have always been small episodes of blacking out and losing conciousness for a few seconds, maybe up to 2 minutes. While I was in the hopital I had 4 seizurethat appeared to be grand mal seizures. I  am no doctor and I know I cannot diagnose myself. I have only worked with the hadicapped and disabled for 5 years and have been seizure trained.
After They unhooked me from the wires of the eeg,  and prepared my paperwork to go home, I had another big seizure. After I was home, I had four more big seizures that day which was on Friday. My husband decided to take me to the E.R after talking to the hopital I was previosly in. He took me to our hometown hospital and I was seen by my family doctor who immediatley ordered me to St Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis.
There I had a MRI w/andwo contrast.

The full result:
Indications Headaches, White Matter Disease

Findings:
juxtacortical white matter T2 signal hyperintensity is present in themidposterior left frontal lobe.
suspectibility effector contrast enhancement are present
Everthing else seemed normal

impression:
Nonspecific 3mm juxtactcortical T2 signal hyperintensity midposterior left frontal lobe. May represent gliosis and dmyelination, and whitw=e matter lesion is to be considered as well.


Please, if you can tell me anything of what this might mean , I would be very great full. I am pretty scared as I have never had seizures like I am having now. On top of all of this I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Thank you,
Annie

I can't help you with your question but wanted to add that lyme disease can cause everything you described above...seizures, fibromyalgia, CFS and the abnormal MRI.  Not saying you have this but a test would be helpful to rule it in our out as a possible cause of your problems.
