Brain Proteins

[Kat1023]

Last summer, for several days, I experienced severe headaches before I arose in the mornings.  I have no history of headache problems.  Along with this I developed tingling and numbness in my left hand/arm.  I had an MRI of my brain, which showed abnormal proteins in the brain.  A visit to a nuerologist was next, but he had a speech impediment and was difficult to understand.  I know he said that these proteins could only be caused by three things, coming from my heart or spine. . .
I took two tests which showed that my heart and spine were normal, but he ordered a second MRI
which I could not afford to take.  The headaches have subsided greatly, and I have occasional tingling in my hand.  What is causing this and what is a good remedy?  Is this serious?  At first, I thought I was having a stroke, but that was ruled out by the first MRI.  Thanks, Kat

Sorry my information was vague, but I really was not able to understand the doctor's speech.  The headaches were very sudden in onset, and very severe, that is why I thought I was having a stroke.  The tingling or numbness is in my left hand and arm and
has since subsided and is not bad.  I will certainly get a second opinion.  Thank you, Kathryn

Hi,

I have a few questions just for clarification.

Do you have the MRI results with you?

I suggest you get a second opinion of your MRI scans. Another radiologist or neurologist will be able to help.This way you may correlate your primary physician's findings with other doctors' expert opinion.

What tests were done for your heart and spine?

Were your coagulation factors assessed?

Were the headaches sudden in onset?

Any associated weakness or numbness?

Do keep us posted with your answers.
