I am 52 yrs old female, chronic migraine and the aura and pain recently has changed and become more intense. I do see a neurologist, had an MRI done followup will be in October. Memory loss past few months. Mom and aunt had/have Alzheimer s. I really worry about stroke because my mother recently passed of stroke and the pain and feeling I have in my head worries me. I have had headaches since a teenager. MRI shows patchy FLAIR hyperintensity in the Pons and a punctate FLAIR intensity just anterior to the left caudate head representing mild chronic microvascular angiopathy . Don t like worrying until Oct appointment.
