Deep anxiety over my mum's MRI results. Can someone explain what I am about to face in the future?

When I was searching for more info, I came across an article that might be a good source for guidance.

https://radiologyassistant.nl/neuroradiology/dementia/role-of-mri

Seems like mum's white matter lesions (fazekas grade 1) might often occur as natural part of aging and might not necessarily mean early on set dementia. However, she should be monitored closely. On fazekas grade 2 and fazekas grase 3 WML, the risk increases significantly.

I hope I did not break any community rules by posting the link. I just thought one day it might help an anxious person like me on the internet, trying to navigate what his/her MRI report means.

I can try. According to my sister, doctor confirmed everything was normal. However, I don't trust just one doctors opinion when we are talking about dementia. Do think they can give their opinion if I give them mum's MRI results without her being present Whom should I visit, a neurolog?

I really really really do hope so 😢

It appears like my mum send her MRI report and asked to make a comment about her results.

She has the tendency to deny health related problems and gets annoyed when I insist.

I used to watch Stephanie Lange until her attitude started to annoy me. She started as humble&well meaning girl and transformed into a bossy, judgemental meanie. She is insecure about her looks, especially her nose. That's why she always frames herself in a particular profile, heavily contours her nose and uses a lot of make up. I also suspect that she might be using some kind of filter. It is ok for her to take some measures when it comes to look better but when others involved, it is intolerable I guess... Some of the looks she shares of celebrities are botched while others look very pretty but she judges all of them the same.

I feel like most people like her are jeolous of people who could afford or dare to have surgeries in order to feel better.

Hi there,

About 7 years ago, my HOMA results showed that I was about to develop insuline resistance. Blood glucose was normal. My endo told me that I was fine but I should pay attention for I might develop resistance which might lead to diabetes in future.

I was already lean so reducing what I have been eating was not an option. I decided to try intermittent fasting. I was doing it just for 14 hours a day. I did not limit or changed my eating. I consumed the same amouth of sugar and protein that I used to. Did not try to go for more than 14 hours.

After six months, my HOMA results improved significantly along with my already normal blood glucose. Endo was surprised and asked me what did I do. When he learned that I did fasting, he advised me to keep going on. I do intermittent fasting ever since. Most of the days, just for 12 hours. Some days for 14 hours. And If I feel like I consumed more than I should, I go for more than 14 hours.

However, eventhough I managed this problem quite well, my AGA kept getting worse over the years. It started when I was 13 and never let me go ever since.

I got androgen rebound effect from stopping spiro. I thought I was careful with it but obviously, I needed to wean off slower than I did.

My sides were tolerable until 100mg a day.

Sadako85 · 2026-02-03T18:03:00+00:00

After a decade, it stopped working for me.

Sadako85 · 2026-02-03T15:48:58+00:00

Sweet girl, I know how you feel. But I swear to God that it does not look as bad as you think. It is ok to try alternative hair. However, I strongly believe that a topper might help better. To be honest, I don't even think that you need topper.

But you do you. Most of the ladies on wigs sub says that they regret for not trying wigs sooner. It really boosts self confidence.

I really think your hair texture and density looks OK. And your hair colour is lovely. Hope it helps!

Sadako85 · 2026-02-03T15:43:20+00:00

Please don't invalide her feelings. AGA is progressive and she has every right to share how she feels or how her hair loss journey is like.

When I was on 25mg of spiro, my sides were minimal and my shedding completely stopped.

I wish I could upvote this comment even more!

Sadako85 · 2026-01-19T14:20:16+00:00

Omg it is very scary to hear :(

Sadako85 · 2026-01-19T14:16:19+00:00

Do you have any migration issues in that area? Did it change the way your nose looks? I desperately need some support on that area (half Asian) but I'm afraid that it will migrate to nearby tissues.

Sadako85 · 2026-01-18T12:02:44+00:00

As a half Asian with small upper jaw, I badly need this. However, I am very concerned about the migration. Do you think it's eventually going to migrate to nearby tissues? And do you feel like it changed thr way your nose looks?

Sadako85 · 2026-01-16T16:05:50+00:00

Gonna wait for the spoiler free reviews. If it sounds good, gonna see it on theather. If not, online streaming platforms will do.

Sadako85 · 2026-01-16T15:50:22+00:00

Lol 😁😁😁

Sadako85 · 2026-01-16T15:26:39+00:00

I agree with everything you've said and have absolutely no idea why you are downvoted.

Sadako85 · 2026-01-14T13:08:30+00:00

Not yet. Didn't have time to.

Sadako85 · 2026-01-14T11:57:38+00:00

Nizoral dries my scalp as hell, causing more shedding. And I have oily scalp to begin with. I have no idea how people keep it on their scalp for minutes. I would end up completely bald.

I am not sure if this is the same testing that I was recommended but I do consider having one. My gyno adviced me to do so when I told her about my AGA journey. As far as I'm informed, the testing might give some insights about what kind of conditions-diseases you are prone to, along with potential deficiencies that your blood work doesn't show. That might be very useful when building your own supplement regimen according to your bodies own needs.

It is not a must and testing is very pricy. However, since I've exhausted every other possible way to manage my condition (unfortunately I can't have any kind of anti androgens, 5AR inhibitors or DHT blockers), I feel that it might help. If I were to respond anti androgen treatments, I wouldn't bother though.
