Thank you for choosing HCM

There are many reasons for you getting the multiple white lesions in the brain. There can be a build of amyloid or that this is some sort of sclerosis that is occurring.

You should see your Doctor as soon as possible. Also, since you have described that you have numbness of certain areas, it seems that it is possible that you have necrosis of some areas and also compression of the nerves or nuclei.

See your Doctor, confirm the diagnosis and start the treatment. All the best.
Hope this helps you
