I feel like I might be getting more brain lesions

Lounge

Since 2009 I’ve gotten brain lesions that cause me symptoms.

I keep feeling confused and forgetful and disoriented.

It might not be anything, but I just don’t feel right.

If it lasts until my appointment next week, I’ll talk to my primary dr about it.

One time I got lesions in the left side of my brain which left my entire right side unusable, my right side of my face sagging, and I couldn’t swallow.

But physical therapy, and occupational therapy, plus working with a speech language pathologist helped me gain it back over the course of a year.

It’s not Multiple Sclerosis. It’s different.

They just say it’s an autoimmune white matter disease @FreeLunch . I’ve been to many neurologists including the highly specialized Cleveland Clinic and no one has ever seen it before.

I only know that my body’s immune system goes into overdrive and causes lesions in my brain.

If you’re concerned, you could ask for a brain MRI.

It could have been Bells Palsy. But I’m no dr so I have no idea what happened to you. I’m glad you recovered though

Do you think the lesions are what’s leading to your night time? Painful orgasms? Have you talked to anyone about that? Potentiality

I have no idea @FreeLunch . I’ve had the brain lesions for many years so I suppose anything is possible

You could have had a TIA or mini stroke. How long ago was this? If it happened recently, you need to go to the emergency room right away @Rainstorm.

It was many years ago after I got back on meds the face sagging went away
