Question: I recently went to the dr because i have been having LOTS of symptoms. My dr sent me to a neurologist bacause of several of my symptoms. I had an MRI done and I am scheduled to have an EEG on XXXXXXX 15th. My most concerning symptoms. All of these symptoms have progressively been getting worse... 1. Short term memory loss (getting LOTS worse) 2severe ADD, so all of the symptoms that go along with that, like trouble concentrating, 3starting a sentence..... then having to pause to figure out what I was saying. Also getting "tongue tied" and not even being to get something out. I have to stop, then start over. 4hands and feet falling asleep. (I can't sleep cause fingers are tingling and I have to keep moving them.... 3 days solid now.) 5. I have always been a social person, now isolating myself from everyone, including family 6. Very quick to anger. Along with this, I have been battling a diagnosed reoccurring bacteria infection for the last 3 years. They STILL cannot get rid of it. The neurologist spoke a "foreign language" to me, and my question to you is to ask if you can tell me what the following items taken from my MRI report actually mean, in a way that i can understand. I have NO idea what is going on. PLEASE explain what these items mean. They were taken from my MRI report. "Mild mucoperiosteal thickening within the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses." "There are several minute foci of T2 and FLAIR hyperintensity within the deep white matter and the gray-white matter junctions of the centrum semioval and corona radiata areas." "The deep white matter lesions appear to be related to small vessel ischemic changes." "Mild chronic sinusitis with mucoperiosteal thickening."

I am 43 years old, 5 ft 5, and weigh 100 pounds. I am very "small boned" so not an "unhealthy bony person" like this sounds. Hehe.I fight to try to gain weight, however have never been able to do so. 105 is my normal weight, but being that i have been sick, I am a few pounds underweight. My bloodwork all came out just fine. I am hoping this information helps. My neurologist kept saying "you are young"... so going by what you just responded, there is something CAUSING the ischemic changes. I guess that is why an EEG is being done XXXXXXX 15th. Can you advise as to what could be the cause of this? ... what this EEG might tell me? I am very scared... and noone is helping me. I haven't slept in 3 days because my hands are "falling asleep". This tingling in fingertips has not yet stopped. I am hoping you can give me an idea of possible diagnoses. The more I worry, the worse my symptoms are coming out. Thank you so much for your help. I am hoping this new information can help you in determining possible findings.
