Have Brain Lesions. Slurring Words, Memory Loss, Twitching Hands, Dizziness, Headache, Nausea, Vomiting. Your Opinion?
Hello,
Symptoms- slurring words, memory loss, twitching hands and legs, dizziness, headaches every day, migraines, sore neck, nausea, vomiting, feel cold water dripping on my arm and get burning sensations on my skin on my leg. I have 3 lesions on my brain. 6 years ago I had a stroke or virus in the lining of my brain was never given a definite answer. What is your opinion I am at the end of my rope. With never getting a answer for all my symptoms that have been getting worse and worse. I am a 37 year old female I have had left ventricle surgery and my gallbladder removed. I have had 2 unexplained viruses as a youth. I also have been diagnosed with Ellers Danlose syndrome. That is me in a nutshell.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Hello,
First of all I would advice that never feel you are at the end of rope. You have few diagnosed and a few undiagnosed problems. For your symptoms you may need a nerve conduction study to find out whether the abnormal sensations on your limbs are due to nerve involvement. Secondly the location of the lesions in your brain will also explain some of the symptoms. In certain situations it may be better to aim for the solution (treatment) rather then chasing the diagnosis. Neurologists can definitely prescribe you medications to relieve you of these symptoms.
Good luck.
