hi,
i have had a cranial mri which reveals scattered punctate hyperintese foci of T2, signalling abnormality consistent with ischemic microvascular disease. i'm waiting to neuropsychological testing to better define cognitive defects and see if there may be a correlation between them and the mri findings. i have difficulty with my gait and balance (falling), memory, swallowing, understanding language and being able to find the right word when speaking. i have tingling in my hands and feet and a constant sound in my ears, and some head aches. could anyone please help me understand what the mri reveals? i'm only 54 and suddenly i can't take care of my home, have difficulty at work and can't even go grocery shopping. my insurance won't pay for all the test so the neuropsych won't see me unless i pay up front. any insight anyone can give is much appreciated.
thanks!
