MRI

[ttdnm]

Patchy hypertension areas involving corpus callosum, bilateral parietal and frontal as well as perpendicular and right cerebellar white matter as described above. The exact etiology of this is uncertain. These probable represent plagues of demyelination. Clinical correction is suggested.
I am 55, received MRI after concussion.  Was told it was unrelated. 2 days after the concussion, my short term memory, wasn't there, I was forgetting what I was doing if distracted by any thing. Example if someone interrupted me while taking, I forgot what I was talking about.  Better after 6 months, but still having some issues. Also following the concussion, I had issues walking.  I walked to left, crashed into things. If someone walks in front of me, it throw me off, where I will stumble and have trouble correcting myself.  Again better but still over compensate myself for others.  I appear intoxicated, will not drink alcohol in fear of that feeling. Speech and spelling not good,but better.  All I was told by neurologist, I should be better in 6 months.  I will see new neurologist in August, my current neurologist is through workman compensation, where I hurt myself.

Reading comprehension problems as well?

As we have seen, there are people who only want to have preconceived ideas confirmed (ideas we don't know about), and don't want to hear opinions based on our knowledge and experience. C'est la vie.

Baffled by your response.

Just as helpful as the doctor.  Everyone makes me feel like "freak of nature", on this site, and people in my life.  So maybe I am, and that what I'll accept.  I'll see my new doctor and have some hope, but not counting on it, Florida doctors are the worst.  That's for the help but good by to all, I am more confident and comfortable in my world. Take a good look at your site.

That sounds like me! I didn't have a concussion, but I had a real problem with short term memory for six months. I don't remember some of that time. I would walk towards a door and bump into the frame because I wasn't steering right.

The results of your MRI are similar to my initial ones. Check my profile for a more complete writeup (in my photos.)

I can tell you're also having the word substitution problem (or maybe your spell checker is on.) Hypertension instead of hyperintensity, correction instead of correlation, plagues instead of plaques.

See if you can get that appointment pushed up, or at least start the process of getting some more extensive MRIs. You'll need at least a 1.5T of the brain, and a 3T of the neck and spine. I personally prefer 3T for everything but it does take a while, and it's not cheap.

It would be weird for MS symptoms to come on after a concussion unless you fell because of the MS symptoms. If that is the case I would go to a MS Specialist to rule it out.. Neurologists specialize and not all know about MS.

You could possibly dealing with what is called Post-concussion syndrome. If that is the case from my understanding the effects can last up to a year or more.

Look it up and talk with your neurologist to see if this is a possibility.
