I am a 20 year old female. I have suffered from daily headaches and migraines for about a year. I am struggling with my short term memory - it’s been effecting all parts of my life including my work. I am running into the sides of doorways a lot (thinking I am far enough over) and bumping into people when I’m walking down the street. I’ve been having some muscle twitches. The muscles in my right shoulder and into my neck function "oddly." They’re weaker than they should be (I am right handed), and constantly spasming and knotting and it causes me a lot of pain. I have been in physio for this issue for the last 5 months. It’s helped with a lot of the pain, but that right shoulder/scapula just won’t be normal.
I had an MRI and there were two very small white matter lesions. I do not know the area they’re in, but I intend to find out on my next visit to my neurologist.
My neurologist thinks this is nothing to worry about, and won’t take my symptoms, or me, seriously. She has been brushing me off.
Sorry to hear that you’ve been having problems. I think if I were you, I would find out more info about your mri first then take it from there. Does your neuro know all the symptoms that you’ve been suffering from ?
When I first started to see the neuro I felt the same way - that I wasn’t being taken seriously, but actually I couldn’t have been further from the truth! I now realise that until further tests were run there wasn’t a great deal that he could tell me without committing himself, which he wasn’t going to do wihout knowing more himself!
All I can suggest is that you persevere. You know your own body and know when something is not right. Good luck.
I would get a new physician. You should never feel like you are being brushed off. My advice would be to try and find a doctor that you connect with and takes you seriously
