MRI showed I have two patches - one on the top of my left frontal lobe and one of the side of the right one. Treatment is the same - healthy diet, exercise, etc. I knew arteries could be affected - but not the brain!:eek::)
Also...my brain has shrunk. I mean, all our brains shrink with time, but mine is shrunk beyond what my age is. (I thought of the Wicked Witch of the West: "I'm MELting, I'm MELting!" ) Doc said that this is seen a lot in people who drank (or drink) alcohol heavily.
I haven't had a drink in 15 years - and asked the doc if the brain could have been that size when I quit, and just stayed that way. He said yes.
WOW. Party on, gang.... lol!;)
