Whats wrong with me
by: L. U on Tue, Nov 24 2009

In Sept. 2008 I had a medical event that was diagnosed as small vessel disease of the brain. It start suddenly and I was unable to walk, all I would do was stumble, this condition improved but on the third day I was admitted to the hospital as a stroke patient. With all the test and an MRI they knew that I hadn’t had a stroke, a tumor,cancer, or an inner ear problembut they didn’t know what caused the event.

I still have an occasional problem with
balance especially when turning, frequent urination, slight headache,and
sometimes bowel problems.

I was examined by a neurologist but this condition was never discussed.That doctor has since moved to another city.

Do I need to discuss this with my doctor?
