EEG came back normal. Doing a 3-day at home study with one now, along with an MRI and CAT scan.

**Update**



So the first Neurologists I went to thinks it may be M.S., but that doesn’t sound right to me! The MRI result show a few white spotson the brain (lesions). That does coincide with MS, but I do not have any other symptoms (numbness, tingling, falling etc).


A quick google search reveals that High Blood Pressure can also cause white spots on the brain—I have had High Blood Pressure (now controlled by meds) for the last 10 years! I am thinking they may not have looked at my chart, but just the MRI. I am seeking a second opinion.

I was told they could indicate a stroke or MS. I have one too! I couldn't tell you if my Dad had one.

When I was in the hospital once they found a white spot like you described on an EKG. My PCP told me they could indicate either stroke or MS. Test after test revealed nothing more. I've been healthy all my life; I wasn't going to let them keep spending money I didn't have looking for something so elusive.

Perfect! Thanks. I read your other posts-- was this why you were tired all the time while you were driving?
