Any idea's what the problem could be?

I am 32yo, and for the past almost 3 months now I have been suffering with severe headaches. It had gotten to the point that it feels like my head is on fire from the inside.  I also get sharp stabbing like pains in my head, and I am slightly sensitive to light when this occurs.  I have these head pains almost the entire day, and I am woken up by them  in the early hours. I also get dizzy, and feel unsteady on my feet..

I went for an MRI scan of my head. And these were the results...

" There are a few non-specific 2-3mm subcortical frontoparietal white matter high T2 signal foci".  

I have googled my results and all that keeps coming up are MS symptoms.. I'm very worried.. I go to see a neurologist on Tuesday..

yes, don't panic or stress yourself out - stress can do much worse things to your head (i should know) i have had 4 mri's in the past 4 months, (yes months) and some of the white matter could be normal.

keep us posted (:

Try not to panic yet.  Your MRI results can mean something other than MS; can present with other conditions.  

Please keep us posted about your outcome with the Neurologist.
