Hardening of the Arteries In the Brain - arterial sclorsis
Posted: 11-03-07 17:34pm

I just found out yesterday that I may not have MS at all but instead have arterial sclorsis in the arteries in my brain. Neuro also said that I may have had some small unknoticed mini stokes that could have cause the white matter lesions on the brain they saw with the MRI with contrast. He also said that the two hernitated disc's in my lumber spine are bulding and is what is causing my pain when I walk. So, he is now putting me on one 81mg baby asprin a day and sending me to physical theropy to gain some streangh back in my arms and legs.
Makes me wonder if that is good news or bad. That means now I have to stay away from ALL fats, skin my chicken, drain my meats etc. Because fat is what causes plak to stick to your arteries.
Just though I would share this with you. As I said before, I am not well either. I have alot wrong with me including aniety and deppression. I take 12 medications a day. That is counting some are twice a day.

Hugs,
Carrie

I have hardening of the arteries of the brain,I've had 2 min-strokes,diabetic since age 8,Now considered brittle,Fibromyagia,hypothyroidism I am bipolar I take a lot of meds too. Never a day without something going wrong. But after all this I am still alive. It's tough to switch from the way you normaly eat.Helpful hint use seasoning. and lots of it if you so desire. Of course No salt if your not allowed. Just season awayI hope you have a broiler. It really puts a zest into the food. Try this. once a month treat yourself to something that you're not suppose to eat. Small porton. It just gives you something to look forward to. the reason I am so calm about this is because of my faith. I couldn't have gone through all this without Jesus. I hope something in here helpa you Jenn M
