Question: I just had an MRI of my brain. I am 62 year old female with fibromyalgia. I have had cateracte surgery an then was told I had PVD of one eye several months after the surgery. I have been having dizzy spells and feel off balance a lot of the time,and it seems I walk off to right. The mri of the brain showed T2 hyperintensity in the white matter suggestive of small vessel ischemia or non specific demylination. I can't get into the doctor for awhile and can't figure out from the internet what this means. I also have been having about 4 headaches a week that go up the back of my neck to my temple area that are just a dull ache. I am 5'8 and 225. thankyou

My labs have always came back normal except for chronic low potassium and several cbc showed a hgb of 16 but last one was 13.5. I have been to several arthritis doc. And had all the test done they do and all have come back normal. I have had a chronic cough for 10 years and have been worked up for copd and othere lung problems but everything was neg. except for bronchiectasis. The cough improved after I had a L-thyroidectomy for a 3 cm nodule removed in 2010 which was a colloid nodule consistent with uninodular goiter. This was done in6/2010 In 5/2010 I fell and hit my head and had a ct done which showed the spinal fusion I had done atC5 C6 was ok but I had degenerative changes in the cervical spine. The head CT was normal except for mild chronic sinusitis. My last test was done 5/10/2011, which is the one with the demyelination. At that ime they also did an MRI of the cervical spine showed no problem with the fusion hardware but T2 hyperintensity in pons which may related to nonspecific demyelination or small vessel ischemic changes. It also said I had mild to mod. Disc osteophyte in mulitiple levels most prominent at C4-C5. I also just had a EMG/NCS done on both arms for my hands going numb like I had novacan shot in them, mostly at night which wakes me up. It said on the Right hand there was prolong median sensory latency, with ever thing else normal. The left arm was normal. EMG was normal on both arms. My TSA was normal when checked05/05/2011 but vit d was 26.15. In my 1st note I said I had problems with my R leg dragging it is more like when I walk I don’t lift it high enough and trip all the time. I also have noticed when I talk I have a hard time thinking of the word I want to say and sometimes kind of sutter, which I did not do before as much. That is all I can think of except I have pain in most of my body. Thank you for your help

I have no weakness but hands go numb mostly at night, they are numb not asleep.Nio ua problems, mild hypertensionbut no cholesteral problemsvision problems since thePVD and my eye hurt sometimes at a 2 pain level. The off balance and dizziness has been gradual and started mostly in the last year. If this is central demyelintation what does this mean to my life?
