WHEN A PERSON HAS A STROKE, CAN IT BE FROM DRUG USE?
I always see visuals before and during a migraine. It's like a bunch of glowing spots that I can't see through.
I am a 53 year old male and i to have white spots on my brain. My doctor told me that it was do to blunt trama to the head and from drug and alcohol use. She said that i will problably get alhymers or dementia. Well i feel like i forget lots i want to sleep all the time. My balance is off my speach is diffrent. Im not looking forward to this. But my friend said the one thing i have to look forward to is that i will meet someone new every day. I wish you all the best in the future. Love and respect Daryle
Hi 2yrs ago i started with pain in my abdomen and chest after a week at home in extreme pain and 3 visits to the docs i ended up in hospital. I started getting pins and needles and numbness in feet hands left leg and lip. My head pounded and was tender to touch. After 2mths in hospital and blood clots on lungs i was finally allowed home with no diagnosis. Eventually a scan on brain showed i had two white spots and nerve testing showing nerve damage i was diagnosed with guillain barre syndrome. It felt like a suffered a stroke in simple terms i didnt get the right treatment so have had a long recovery though i am getting there. It is quite rare so maybe mention this there are several types of this they are sadly under the ms spectrum and i was devastated when originally told. Im not trying to scare you but maybe help. There is still life if diagnosed with ms it isnt always bleak it can be just one blip then nothing or only one small problem. I also have leakaemia which did complicate matters slightly. Keep strong and positive keep telling yourself you will be ok it helps . X
Hi guys my daughter had an MRI as she started puberty at 6 years old and has injections every 12 weeks she's now 8 and doc have said she has spots on her brain but don't know what they are, still waiting to see neuro any ideas please
Hi
I'm 45 yrs old.
They found about 10 or so small white spots on my brain. Usually the radiology report will indicate whether it is MS or not. Ms spots are ussually in a certain area of brain and look like smudges. Mine were like dots in the frontal and top of brain.
The Doctor mentioned that my brain was more like a person of 65. They indicated more wear and tear than usual. There is a multitude of causes: high BP,migraines, diabetes etc. usually poor vascular problems. My lifestyle is very good so it's surprising to me. I do have migraines but not that many to account for it.
However since the MRI I have developed a facial neuralgia and experience tingling in other areas. The Doctor did say at the time that since MRIs have not been around for that long ,there is still a lot they don't know. Unless they actually cut out and look at the spot on our brains under a high resolution microscope (of course when we die) how can they be sure!
Anybody know of a massive study on this?

On a MRI scan they have found white spots/inflammation I am not ill no symptoms of anything really he said it's up to me I can leave it or I can have furthers tests lumber puncture dye in brain ect told me to have a think not sure what to do e said tests might point to a certain way I might go with an illness anyone no what I should do
Did you have Ms? I've had 2 Acdf's c4-6..white spots on brain..same as u
They don't no what I have as I have no symptoms yet , was a routine scan for my ears and they came across the spots , the consultant said I could leave it till I start to get symptoms or I could have others tests to see what direction it would go see it pointed to certain illness , he said go home and have a think what I want to do
Routine MRI cos of my Tinitus I do suffer a lot with pains in my neck I have weak wrists feel really tired all th time legs are always aching but I work contintal shifts so put it down to that but I feel with these spots I want to no what it could develop into I am 54
I hope this finds you well. I saw how freaked you were and can only say ask about hemiple migraines (basilar). they mimic stroke and MS. I dealt with an array of doctors, tests and meds before the 4th neurologist figured it out. Blessings and good luck.
Is this bad at a young age? My friend is in the hospital and she is 17and I was told by her mom that an MRI scan came in with spots all over her brain She's very sick right now and I'm beyond worried. Please help.
I'm 46 years old and I'm feeling off balanced, unsteady. They found white spots deep in my brain and told me to talk to my doctor tomorrow. I'm a nervous wreck. I don't understand what's going on. I have numbness all over my face as well
WORRIED.... I have a 5 year old granddaughter that has several spots on the brain. Her neurology said that they are not a problem. She has be going to see him since she was 2 and now she's having trouble with her eyes and had to get glasses. She have been falling and bumping into things since she started walking and the Dr said the the spots are not growing but something is wrong. She has tremors in her hands often and her feet occasionally they are not as bad. We are going to get another opinion in October. We live in SC but we are going to NC to another Dr. Do I need to worry??
I am 25.Today my doctor told me that I have white spots in my brain, he told me to chase these spots i need some more blood tests.. I am so worried.
