white spots on brain
by misalof, May 01, 2008 09:01PM
Hi sometimes I forget things easy. I got worried and went to the doctor. My doctor told me I need a MRI. Then I got the results and it show some white spots on my brain. I mean I can be driving and forget where I am going. Or order food at a restraunt and then tell the waitress I didnt order that. It like comes in spurts.Then I am fine. I really worry I am going to a nuro now. and he saids he dont think it is ms or nothing and sending me for more bloodwork. Do you have any idea what this means. I dont think the doctors know either. Please help.

Few of the symptoms of MS are unique to the disease and, even if you have one or more of them, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have multiple sclerosis.
Cognitive Dysfunction is one of the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. It used to be thought that cognitive dysfunction was relatively rare symptom of the disease but it is now understood to be quite a common feature.
Memory Dysfunction. This is the most commonly reported cognitive dysfunction in MS and occurs in 20 to 44% of people with MS. The type of memory deficit most often reported is free recall of recently learned material. Free recall is the ability to get to a memory instantly - MS rarely seems to affect a person's ability to get items into the memory banks - just our ability to get it out "right now". What also does not appear to be compromised very often is a person's ability to understand and learn new concepts nor the speed at which they do so.
