BRAIN LESION.......?

I will make a long story short... or try to at least. Last year on August 19, I fainted in my husband's Aunt's front yard... He gave me CPR to revive me. I did not go to the hospital, as I chalked it up to a hot Texas summer day... The following week I was hit with a massive Migraine (which I have had sporatically before, began during my first pregnancy 4 years ago) I went to the E.R. and was given a shot of Demerol to ease the migraine pain. I have the classic migraine, or commonly known as Scintillating Scotoma, or visual and speech defects during migraine. The ER Doc asked me if I'd had a CT Scan in the past...my answer was no. So he ordered one. He came back in 15 minutes with results of a 4mm Lesion in the left frontal lobe. He ordered an MRI and MRA to be done in Sept. of 07. The lesion proved to be "non-enhancing" with contrast material, but was still labeled as "questionable"... MY QUESTION IS::: This is the ONLY info I have ever received about my "condition", and if in fact it is not a condition, no one ever explained anything to me. I never went for a follow up in November as I was ordered to because my husband lost his job and lost our insurance, and I am JUST NOW getting insurance back, effective 11-1-08... Has anyone ever heard of a "frontal lobe lesion" or anything related? All I find online is horror stories about brain cancer, and tumor survivors and severe personality disorders, none of which I feel I have. Help someone, please shed light on this issue for me!!!

  1. Lesions are often associated with White Matter Disease. White matter disease is associated with adult neurological disorders such as Alzheimers, Dimentia, Multiple Sclerosis, and Huntingtons Disease. I would recommend you try to make an appointment for the nearest date after your insurance picks up. Write down all of your symptoms and take them with you to the appt.

    I know exactly how you feel with the waiting. I have a melanoma on my neck and have been experiencing bad neuro imparement. I have to wait until October until I can see a doc. Good luck and my prayers are with you.
