Brain lesions on MRI - have you had this?

[clemetteattlee]

In May last year I was floored by an intense attack of dizziness. I was off work for a month and although it has subsided I have had mild dizziness ever since. I have fatigue, muscle aches, and numbness/pins and needles as well as horrendous migraines. GP referred me to ENT who sent me for an MRI. I have since been for a further MRI and finally got some results today. The first one showed no tumour but did show white matter lesions ("more consistent with those in the elderly" according to the consultant's secretary who gave me the results). I am back at the hospital on Tuesday to get the results of the second MRI and hopefully some idea of a diagnosis.
I am trying not to panic and know that speculation is essentially pointless but I have read that migraines can cause these lesions so I wondered if anyone out there had these lesions and didn't have MS??

Hi there. Less of a good week this week - lots of dizziness and feeling like I could fall asleep at every opportunity. I am "hoping" that I am fighting a bug that my daughter has rather than this being normal for me.

A cup of coffee would be good - I am at QMC all day every day if that suits??
If you send me a message I'll let you know my mobile number.

How are you feeling?

I get dizzy when I'm tired, I always worry that something is on it's way. My relapses start like this also but I feel as though I've plunged my head into a vat of vodka and drunk the lot. Were you given steroids? These reduce the length of a relapse and can be taken up to 6 weeks afterwards, it helps to reduce any affects of the relapse.

The red arrow drops people off outside the QMC so I can do that. I'm good, thank you. Waiting for an agent to get back to me about my books. She's offered to help.
