Hi all, Maybe this is a shot in the dark, but I finally asked for my SPECT scan lab report and this is what it says -
"There are areas of decreased perfusion involving the right greater than left parietal regions, right occipital region, left frontal lobe, and anterior aspect of the right temporal lobe. The findings are most severe in the right parieto - occipital region. Scinitgraphic findings suggestive of Lyme disease in the appropriate clinical setting"
Now, I am wondering what possible symptoms that I have could be attributed to the specific parts of my brain that are being affected. For example, what would decreased perfusion in the right parieto occipital region account for?
Can anyone help? Thanks!

Did the neurologist tell you anything? Mine said mild to moderate global heterogeneous hypoperfusion, which meant slowness in circulation mild to moderate throughout the brain, down at Columbia years ago. Maybe at the next appt they could explain. Did it say impression anywhere. It said as seen in medications, vasculitis and lyme disease. That was 6 years ago, in the same boat. Maybe someone else had something similar. Good health.

No, all they said that it was suggestive of Lyme in appropriate clinical settings...I'm just wondering which of my symptoms these things could account for..

A Ton of them. I don't think anyone can say specifically, but the Brain controls EVERYTHING. This is why so many of us have Neurological problems, Emotional stuff, even the heart and lungs are controlled by the brain, as a pain/nerve impulses.
The good news is that this stuff is for the most part reversible.

- Decreased perfusion (also called hypoperfusion) can cause problems with dizziness, fainting, fatigue, exhaustion, balance, cognitive energy and focus, mood, etc.
You can cross search the terms with borrelia. Also cross search:
Hypoperfusion, Fallon, Nields
Then, look more closely at the work from:
Brian+Fallon - and also from: Jenifer+Nields
with and without Borrelia as a search term. -
