Severe Headaches, Caused By Lesions And White Matter, Partly Relieved After Taking Topamax. What Is The Cure?

I have a enlarged area on left side of head (temple area) causing constant severe headaches. I have had a MRI with and without contrast, lumbar puncture and am on Topamax. The MRI showed I do have 8-10 lesions and white matter. The Topamax has helped the headaches in the eye area, but where the enlarged "vein/artery" is, I feel as I have been hit by a sledge hammer. HELP

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
The lesions of 8 to 10 number in MRI brains may be space occupying lesions or areas of abnormality.
I suggest you to upload the MRI report for better understanding of the problem.
Continue the medication.
Hope I have answered your question.
Regards.
