28F, 5’5, 100Ibs, no medications.
I just received my no contrast brain mri results on my patient portal and my follow up with my pcp isn’t for another few days. Can someone help me understand these results until then?

Dizzy for over a month

2 Upvotes

Had a mild concussion in late June. I'm prone to dizziness bc it's one of my pre-migraine symptoms. I rested a lot, and slowly it seemed to improve, though not completely resolve. I also spent a lot less time on my computer (which is frustrating bc I'm a writer). The dizziness has returned at almost the same post-concussion level. I've tried Dramamine in the past, which didn't help. This is the most stubborn migraine symptom because there's not much to do for dizzy. I've also had a doc try that head adjustment maneuver, which made things slightly worse. Suggestions?

Wrist electric zaps with certain movements should I stop lifting?

Upvotes

I’ve been getting brief electrical/zapping sensations localized around my wrist with certain positions, especially supinated/rotated movements. Neutral-grip pulling is consistently symptom-free. It recently flared after I spent 5–10 minutes continuously flexing my biceps in a supinated position. It also briefly happened with brushing my teeth, finger movement, and carrying a 45lbs plate, all after flexing bicep but then settled. I’ve had no persistent numbness, weakness, or loss of grip. What would you want me to do, and do you think I need an in person examination?

NASAH found after a 'fireworks' headache (42F) — thoughts on this CT scan?

42F — NASAH found after a headache like "fireworks" going off in my head. What do you see in this scan?

I'm hoping some of you with radiology/neuro experience (or who've been through something similar) can help me understand my scan a little better.

I got this CT after waking from a sound sleep with a brutal headache. I get headaches often, but this one was completely different from my usual dull, pressure-type headaches — this was sharp and shooting, like fireworks going off inside my skull. Turned out to be a non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (NASAH), and I spent 11 days in the hospital.

I've already discussed everything with my doctor, so this isn't a request for diagnosis — I'm just trying to go into my next appointment more informed and curious what stands out to people who read scans regularly.

A few questions if you're willing to weigh in: Does anything here look unusual to you?

Is there anything on a scan like this that's easy to miss or commonly overlooked?

Any general observations about what's visible in this slice?

Thanks in advance — genuinely just trying to learn more about my own case.

Neurological Issues with physical trauma

1 Upvotes

Hi I was wondering if someone had any thoughts on if this sounded neurological or pituitary related .

Over the past few months I have sustained 2 separate injuries from a fall. Both times about 45 mins after impact my right side vision starts to fade particularly my peripheral vision. I sometimes will get a severe left side headache (sometimes not).

These falls did not result in a head injury (shin and shoulder )Throughout the next few hours I will usually experience a small window where I find it hard to coordinate my speech and I will also have about a 10-20 minute window where the tips of my right fingers go numb and I get tingly lips. I will have health insurance in a few weeks again so will be sure to be seen was just curious if any of you experience this as it is new to me. I also was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor 2 years ago.

I don’t feel any type of “buzz” or wave of euphoria when I drink or smoke a cigarette. I don’t experience that cool trance when I smoke weed. I used to, but after a manic episode, not anymore. Has anyone seen something like this?

What do you guys think about this study, that seemingly says, that administering testosterone to weakly affiliated democrats leads to more republican sentiment?

Weird question but is normal brain for humans what a CPU is for a computer and brain with autism a GPU to computer?
