MRI results: At your age, not unique to visualize multiple white matter lesions when reading an mri. These are nonspecific, and do not indicate a stroke or ongoing "brain damage", but instead may represent a reflection of progressive "atherosclerosis", or "hardening of arteries". Your statin is partially protective for stroke, and an antiplatelet drug might be useful. Ask your doctor.
