If you are unsure of your options or what your doctor's are saying, I recommend the same. It won't hurt!  |
Thanks littlemomma for your response! I wonder how many doctors there are that don't know what the white spots are and why you lost your speech and why I have vertigo and sometimes chest pain? I've looked at a lot of websites re heart and stroke and it seems that no one can explain. I feel comforted to know I'm not the only one! The neurologist said to me he thought I couldn't have experienced what I did because the MRI just showed white dots. The doctor who administered the MRI and did the report thought I did have a stroke though and so, the two of them don't agree! The neurologist couldn't tell me what they are though. Thanks again!
