Hello I'm a 33 year old female with the following symptoms:
History Surgeries: (4) C-Sections (Feb. 01, March. 03, Jan. 05 Jan. 13 Full Hysterectomy (August 13, 2013) Also received a blood transfusion Feb. 13
Symptoms:
(1) Arms/hands & legs/feet tingling sensation, burning, numbness, pins and needles, ice cold feet, electric shock down legs. This went on for (2) weeks one night I couldn’t rest because the pain was so bad. I went to my doctor after (2) days of this. I couldn’t function are do any of my daily activities. Chest pains. The meds he gave me did not help at all (Gabapentin). I went back in the next week and he walked me over to visit the neurologist. He ask me to come back the next day. I explain my symptoms to the Neurologist in he ordered an MRI in (2) weeks. The next day I begin having very bad chest pains. Then one morning nothing the symptoms just went away.
(3) Three months before the breakdown I went running and fell because my knee in foot completely gave out on me. A neighbor had to escort me home. I just thought it was due to my potassium being low.
(4) 1 month before the breakdown I worked out with regular (2) pd weights doing very lite lifting as you can tell and was sore with body aches for (2) weeks.
(5) My current Symptoms are that I am Very (very) forgetful, forgetting how to spell simple words such as “The”. My husband has always brought this to my attention but I’ve always blown it off until now. The eye opener was when my boss who visits me every morning came in and asked me how my day was going. Then (2) or so hours later I asked out loud Glynn (my boss) must not be here today he hasn’t come to bother me. No one said anything as I check the company website to see if he had clocked in. Then I said he’s here he got here at 5:30 am they all said yeah and he came to talk to you too. I had forgotten that fast. I have to write down things and sometimes I forget where I placed the sheet that I wrote the information on.
(6) (Current) Dizziness, taken a while to get out of bed.
(7) (Current) Headaches were my head tightens up really tight then loosens then it does it again.
(9) (Current) Seeing things out the corner of my eye ( for instance a mice not there)
(10) (Current) Always tired, bones ache not wanting to get out of bed feeling completely drained. Not wanting to put on clothes. After getting my (2) year old daughter dress to go somewhere I’m completely drained.
My MRI Results (at the time of the MRI I had none of the Symptoms that caused me to go to the doctor.
Contrast: Multihance, 17 mL, Butterfly, Manual, INJ
Study Information: MRIBRAWWO – MRI Brain Including Brain Stem w/o and w/dye
Indication: 341.9 Demyelinating disease of central nervous system
unspecified/demyelinating D/O
Clinical History: Arm and leg numbness. Demyelinating disease.
Technique: MRI of the brain is performed with and without contrast.
Comparison: None available
Findings: The ventricles, basal cisterns and sulci are normal. Diffusion appears normal.
On FLAIR, there are a few punctate subcortical T2 hyperintensities in the right frontal deep white matter. These are nonspecific and may be associated with gliosis and/or sequela of migraine headaches. Small vessel ischemic change would be unusual in this age group. The findings are also not typical for multiple sclerosis. The periventricular deep white matter appears normal.
I do not see evidence of hemorrhage, mass or mass effect. No enhancing lesions are seen post-contrast.
The visualized sinuses and mastoids are clear. The orbital soft tissues are unremarkable.
Impression: There are a few punctate subcortical T2 hyperintensities in the right frontal lobe of unclear/doubtful clinical significance. The pattern is not consistent with multiple sclerosis. A short term follow-up brain MRI may be considered in 3-6 months to document stability.
The MRI was taken on Feb 13, 2013. I have called my doctor office but they still don't have the results. I went to pick them up on my own. I don't feel right and I am not the one to linger on my feelings because my family comes first but, I can't shake this feeling. My head feels strange, very moody, it feels heavy my body just doesn't feel right at all. Can you tell me what I could should be my next move since tell this day after calling my doctor office everyday they still haven't gotten in touch with me. I don't understand the MRI could be nothing but my body is saying something diff.
Please respond
Thank you,
