Pics of my brain
 

Here are a couple pics of my brain. Going to the doc on Friday, so these are my guesses only. Going to drop these off today so she has a little time to review them.

The one looking down has a very small lesion, it appears, toward the back right. But the one that is the back view of my head I'm not sure about. What's up with the big white areas to the sides of my cerebellum? Are those lesions? Or something else? Is it lymph node stuff? Or would that be dark (because it should be non-solid).

I think looking in my brain is totally cool. So I can post as many pics as you guys want.

Anybody else? I'm guessing my head looks pretty good and most of you. I've been stressed out by this more than I want. The last couple nights when I laid down to rest I got some weird spams or something and felt like I was being squeezed around the bottom or my rib cage down to the tops of my pelvis. What the heck? What a weird stress thing, to feel like a tube of toothpaste? It's happened before, but only when I was in the bath, thought it was some weird reaction to the heat and my nerves.

Going to the beach this weekend. Screw my stress.

That would be what we, not so loving, call the "MS Hug"...(a form of spasticity)

Awesome. I'm just adding up symptoms left and right! Thank you Sally for letting me know that.

My MRI from the top view looks similar to yours. I have the same kind of small lesion, only mine is in the front on the end of the Y you see in the middle at a certain level. I haven't seen my scans from any other angle. The neurologist I had didn't even want to show me and didn't show me my spinal MRI either. That among other things is why I see a new neuro in July.

I also have a HUGE area of white in my right sinus/nasal area but was told it's just polyps. But think it's weird they'd only be on one side? Hopefully the new neurologist is more thorough and listens.

I have a book that I'm using to keep track of my symptoms on a daily basis... and it's a book already! Have had small symptoms for years that I wrote off and this or that but was hit hard in mid February and I'm still fighting that and looking for answers.

Welcome to limbo land. :wink:

Look at 3rd post in my "show me your mri i'll show you mine" thread.
You don't have any lesions up higher? Only the one you pointed out?

If any of you have a neuro that doesn't show you your films or lesions, pay the 10-20$ (sometimes free) where you had scans done & take a copy of disc home. It's yours not the neuros.
