A member asked:
Can white matter lesions caused by migraine expand, worsen or affect other tissues in the future regardless of other migraine episodes? or will they remain the same given proper control of migraine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid focusing on MRI findings, as this is unlikely to change inspite of control of migraines. See a neurologist, consider one of the newer Gepants, as at least two can be used to prevent headaches and control breakthroughs. The T2 lesions are an epiphenomena and should not be areas of primary attention.
