Suffering From Tingling Throughout Body After Outbreak Of Herpes. What Does MRI Report Mean?
I have been suffering from tingling throughout my body that seems to be triggered 7 months ago when I had my first outbreak of of Herpes 2. The tingling has progressed and now is triggered by the slightest bit of anxiety causing tingles throughout the body and head. I had an MRI today and have't heard back from the doctor, but the report siad no mass, caute hemorrhage but a number of tiny flair foci in bi frontal lobes. Do you know what this means and is it serious. We are doing the MRI to rule out MS?

More details of bi-frontal lobe foci are needed to answer your question in better way.Such foci can be seen commonly in chronic brain ischemia which is common from mid age and should not be cause of concern.But similar foci can be seen in MS as well.I would suggest you to post your question in premium category along with MRI report and few FLAIR images.Then I will be in better position tell you whether this is MS or Not.Regards.
