Default Cherie,

All I know for sure that I am experiencing Vertigo with this exaserbation. It has eased up some today, after getting some sort of patch that goes behind my ear. I just have read this is caused by lesion on brain stem. That is why I am asking for more information.I have other things going on, and wondering if anything else can be caused by lesions of the brain stem.

I had a recent mri and know that i do have new lesions. at the time he didn't say where, or how many. just that they are responsible for the things going on in this present attack. At the time i didn't ask too many questions.
Thank you.

I know many people who have spinal lesions, and over 20 - 30 yrs have never had any problems what-so-ever from them. When some people hear "spinal" or "brainstem" lesions, it conjures up all kinds of scary scenarios . . . but this is not what happens for most people.

Why do you want to know, friend? I can tell you what the brainstem controls, but it is probably one of those definitions I would consider offering on a "need to know" basis. Are you are having symptoms that you think might be related to the brainstem, and you have a brainstem lesion that you know of . . . is that where this is coming from?

Cherie
