Suffer From Headaches And Migraines, Tingling In The Hands, Blurred Vision. MRI Showing Hyper Intensities On The Frontal Lobe. What Does It Mean?

Hello! I m being worked up for my frequent headaches and migraines. I also have leg weakness, left leg pain, tingling and numbness in my hands, blurred vision and more. All of these symptoms come and go. My allergy testing was negative, my eye tests were all normal and my eyes are good. I just had an mri and it showed hyper intensities on the left frontal lobe , but otherwise negative. My mother has MS and that is always a concern in the back of my mind. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Consult neurologist also, migraine headaches may be seperate entities, although MS patients children have almost 7 times predilection for developing MS,just do not be alarmed but take 3000 i.u of Vitamin D for prevention of MS as some studies reveal,even immunomodulator drugs are used by some neurologists.Hyperintensity is one finding which could be early MS which needs confirmation with other sypmtoms by a seasoned neuro-specialist.Some pointers to tingling in arms,weakness, numbness in hand feet may be due to either MS or Migraine itself.
bottom line- take 3000 i.u of vitamin D daily and treatment for migraine prescribed by your treating doctor, be alert for MS history in the family and hyperintensity finding in frontal area for which periodic evaluation from neuro.doc. is a must.He may prescribe Vitamin B12 injections as supportive treatment along with Vitamin D,immunomodulators if an as necessary after evaluation of MS if its there
