Migraine and white matter lesions? Help?

[danilee38]

I am a 38 year old female who has suffered from migraines since I was a child. Nine years ago the migraines began getting out of control and for the past 3 years have caused my health  and way of life to severely decline. I need someone to tell me if the white matter lesions on my brain (not MS) are a sign of an upcoming stroke. Also, I  have an aura  daily of black lines and bursts of white lights. When I wake up in the middle of the night it flashes and is really beginning to irritate me.I do not know who to go see about the aura, I had my eyes checked when the doctors were thought I had MS and I have 20-20 vision and no floaters.   I presently see a neurologist who has me on zonegran 2oo mg and flexoril 3 times a day and Diflucan as needed and Maxalt. When the headaches get out of control she puts me on prednisone. I also see a physical therapist at her office weekly for the headaches. I have had trigger point injections ( did not help). I am really scared that all of this is the sign of some brain disease or upcoming stroke. PLease help. Thank you.

Hi,
The only thing mentioned in the report were the numerous white matter lesions. I will ask my neuroligist if something like that would have shown up. Thanks.

I am 32 and have had migraines since i was 5. they found a pineal cyst on my brain in 2003. Have you had anything like that show up on an MRI? if not i would have them check for that.
