MRI scan - white spots help?

New postby gustav on Tue Aug 16, 2011 1:55 pm

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum but had glanced by it a few times recently and I think it's really great. I would really appreciate someones view on my current and on going situation as I'm at my wits end here.

I'm a 25 year old male and I've been on my knees for just about four years now. My symptoms keep getting worse and new ones are added every time I seem to relapse or get worse. About 2/3 times per year. I relapse after any kind of exertion, whether it be walking further than half a mile (the half mile is difficult enough) or trying to work or concentrate for any period of time. I'm think I'm broken...

I won't list all the symptoms I have or link them into sentences because I don't think I can at the moment. But I'll attach a list of my symptoms instead that I brought to my doctor.

So far, from a few different doctors I've been diagnosed with:

Aluminium poisoning
hypothyroid (normal now)
Leaky gut
Fermentation
Impaired liver function

None of the treatments have relieved my condition as of yet (apart from thyroid, and I'm not cold all the time anymore). I've done chelation therapy, diet, supplements, yoga, meditation, on-going acupuncture, reiki, hypnosis! My symptoms still steadily are getting worse.

I'm currently waiting on:
adrenal gland tests
parasite tests
MRI results

My old GP was a joke, the man has smugly laughed me out of the office every time I went to him. During my latest "relapse" I managed to get my symptoms written down and I changed GP. Immediately she told me that I should see a neurologist. Why didn't I change GP years ago?

Went to see neurologist and he said I passed his physical exam but that we'd get an MRI just to be sure.

Anyway, had my scan today and they gave me the disc with the images. I know that it will be a week or two before my neurologist gets back to me but I've been looking through the images and I'm noticing an awful lot of white spots on the images. Also, on a few more I've noticed "black" holes in the brain in random places (first picture).

From what I can find on the internet this isn't really a good thing, especially for someone my age who is experiencing these symptoms.

I'd be really grateful if someone could look at them and my symptoms list and let me know what they think.

Many many thanks,

gustav
