An MRI w/ contrast found "a few nonspecific punctate foci of altered bright T2 and flair signal abnormality within the deep perventricular white matter zones particluarly at the posterior angles of the lateral ventricles bilaterally. Differential consideration do include demyelinating disorders as well as inflammatory vasculopathies."
Obviously everyone yells MS! MS! MS!
I'm 37 yrs old, hypothyroid for the last 11 years, synthroid 125 daily, have been treated on and off for migranes since adolescents, and have a family history (sister, father, paternal grandmother, paternal uncle) all on cholesterol medication. My last cholesterol was near 300 and was not checked again.
I just need to know as I wait for three months for another MRI....do I have any other contributing factors for the brain lesions other than MS??
No diagnosed family history of MS, no tremors, serious eye exams show no abnormalities, just a really bad headache that lasted two months.
I was dizzy, vertigo, and couldnt kick a frontal headache. I finally tried a tea made from Marjoram and Rosemary leaves and the headache left that night...one week later I ahd the MRI and they found the lesions.
With the description above, as quoted from my report, do you think Im looking at MS or the results of cholesterol issues, hypothyroidism and a reeeeaaallly bad headache for two months?
Thanks,
Lara
