MS???

73 year old male.  Had my first seizure (grand mal) 37 days ago.  MRI revealed microscopic bleeding and neurolist tells me that this microscopic bleeding contributes to abnormal electrical activity which leads to a seizure.  He currently has me on keppra to control the seizures.  Since the seizure I can tell that my balance has been slightly effected.  Because of the balance issue I have started to wonder if the seizure could have been related to MS. I also have auto-immune skin conditions: vitiligo and seborrhea.

To me it sounds like ischemic damage, which will result in punctate lesions in your brain.  Depending upon the damage, it could cause vertigo, or it could be something completely different!

I have a lesion in my brainstem and cerebellum, and I had vertigo for three years.

Please ask the doctor about this question - we're not medical people around here, just folks with MS or looking for answers.  That said, my very first instinct is this doesn't sound like MS to me.  Good luck in getting the answers - it is horrible to hang out there and not have answers.
