To little information

This is my question I am a healthy 35 year old female, with a acute onset of muscle spasms two weeks before christmas, it felt as if my left hand and left leg had a mind of its own, and it only happend on the left side, the symptons calmed down and now I am only lefted with, a stabbing pain in my left foot.. up near the toes, I have had a MRI done, and the technician told me, that he saw a white spot on my brian, of course I freaked out!!!  I just would like to know as anyone else had this?  Or give me some kind of clue of what is going on, i am in the military so seeing a doctor right away is impossible :(
Sincerely

First of all I would like to say thankyou for your service to me, it's people like you that should be getting medical help, and the very best medical help, we can go on boards like this because of you and all other heroes. Listen to what caregiver advised, she's always right on the money. Goid bless.

The tech should not have told you anything. It's not his job to provide an interpretation.

That being said, there are missing pieces to this story.

Was the scan done in a military facility?

Request a copy of the MRI report. In writing.

I don't buy the argument, "I'm in the military and can't see a doctor right away."

A written request to your commanding officer is in order, followed up by a meeting with the Inspector General, if your right to recieve evaluation is denied.

The "thirstiness" is, of course a hallmark of an insulin utilization problem. It might be something else, but sugar is the first thing to check. I suspect your blood sugars are abnormally high. Get a blood sugar meter and check them. If they are abnormal, have your military physician schedule a glucose fasting test or an insulin clamp protocol.
