Hello,
I've been battling a crapload of doctors, all of whom seem to be all
too willing to write me off as a hypochondriac with anxiety problems.
To make the long story short, I started getting red and watery left
eye in October. In November, the area around my eye started to hurt a
bit. My PCP thought I had sinusitis and put me on some antibiotics. No
luck. He then put me on another antibiotic and Prednisone. I felt a
bit better due to Prednisone, but then it was over, and my symptoms
came back including tingling in my left arm and leg and brain fog. I
went to the ENT who suggested I have a TMJ problem. Again no dice. I
had a CT of the brain w/out that showed nothing in December. At the
end of December I had a brain MRI without contrast which showed
nothing as well. I persisted and my neurologist thought I have an
abnormal migraine. I started taking beta-blockers, which seem to be
doing a little bit of something, but not enough to write home about
it. Finally, I went to another neurologist to get a second opinion and
got another brain MRI with AND without contrast. I know you guys are
not medical professionals, but I trust many of you have seen enough of
these to know how to read them. I am quite lost, and a bit scared. I
know I may have MS or something else, and I'd rather find out and deal
with the consequences. I am currently waiting to visit a MS specialist
at UCSF. Here is the MRI report:

Findings:
The ventricals are normal in size and symmetric in the midline without
evidence of mass effect or shift. Cortical sulci and subarachanoid
spaces are symmtric and normal. There are two tiny white matter
lesions adjacent to the trigone of the right lateral ventricle, seen
only on the coronal FLAIR sequence. There is no contrast enhancement
of these small lesions and no other contrast enhancing lesions are
identified. No other abnormal foci of increased or decreased signal
intensity are seen anywhere intracranially. Normal gray/white matter
differentiation.

Impression:
1. Two tiny white matter lesions adjacent to the trigone of the right
lateral ventricle without evidence of surrounding edema or mass effect
and not demonstrating contrast enhancement. The largest of these
measures about 4 mm in size and the second measures 2 mm. These
lesions are nonspecific and could represent some chronis gliosis or
scarring. Early demyelinating disease cannot be entirely excluded.
2. Otherwise normal appearing magnetic resonance imaging study of the
brain.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
