MRI results
Hi...so I got my latest MRI results but I need some help interpretting them
since the nurse was less than knowledgable. First MRI was August of 2012 w
an w/o contrast and showed nothing. Last MRI was 1/21/13 and showed a
couple areas of white matter which the nurse kept saying was common in
people with migraines. I never have migraines. I also have a capillary
telangiectasia. She said for that it was usually harmless. I asked her what
the doctor wanted to do and she said he just wants to check my brain again
months from now. I really couldn't get anything else out of her. Prior to
getting the MRI done the doctor had said he would want to do an LP. There
was no mention of that when they called me for the results. I am very
worried as I have been for 1.5 years since my symptoms started. I'm just
looking for someone to help me understand this and why they don't seem to
be worried about them. Should I get a second opinion? My life is going
downhill so fast. I have progressively worsening symptoms in my legs and
feet involving tingling, burning, and numbness. More recently weakness in my
ankles. I also have shooting pains in my elbow and feet sometimes. I had
burning tongue for like 2 weeks that has gone away now thankfully. I also
have spells of vertigo that last a few days and bouts of blurry vision that
lasts weeks at a time. Thanks for reading and any advice you are willing to offer!
