Get a second opinion.

Ask your regular doctor (not the neurologist) for a referral to another neurologist.

If the first doctor doesnt seem to be helping you, maybe a second one will. You have a right to a second opinion.

Hello Susanm and welcome to NeuroTalk

I would suggest you see your Primary Care Physician (PCP) ASAP and discuss what is going on. High blood pressure can cause headaches

Migraines can cause spots (lesions) on the brain.

I suggest bringing someone with you whom you trust, preferably someone who is somewhat medically informed. Two heads are better than one, and two sets of ears are good, too!

Susan,

Welcome to our group and I think a second opinion and someone going with you is the way to go at this point.

Good Luck.

Hi, hope you get some help soon, it sounds as tho you need a new
Neurologist. Not as easily done as said, but do try. This is debilitating
and not normal.

If your only symptom is headaches, it is unlikely the brain lesions are caused by MS. They didn't even acknowledge headaches as a MS symptom until recent years.

Lesions just means "damage" to the brain, and MS lesions are very specific. Stroke, aging, migraines, as well as many other conditions can cause lesions, but they are distinctly different (at least to our neuro's ).

I would gather up all my reports, test results, etc, and take them to a new GP if you are not being taken seriously by yours. You shouldn't have to continue to suffer like this.

Good luck,

Cherie
