Cerebral Brain Atrophy: Anyone else out there?

I had a mri that said I had cerebral atrophy and I also have tremors with this. The nerologist don't know why this is happening and no medications work. I'm losing short and long term memory. This started in 2019 before that I was healthy and vibrant women. I'm 60 now. Feel like I'm 90. And they don't know why I have so many symptoms. Double vision tremors. Gait off. Un balanced. Anyone else suffer this?

I am sorry for yor suffering. I too have an atrpophied cerbellum. The Medical world holds no answers, only questions. I, myself have seen 4 Neurologists,
walk witha cane in the house, and a walker without.
It is hard to live with this condition, but I readon this site of a child who has this condition and I have a 24 year old friend who has blood cancer...

From Goodie again!
The rest of the diagnosis on the CT scan was :
Atrophy and scattered areas of hypo density in the cerebral hemisphere white matter! Any tell me what that means when along with small vessel ischemia in white matter disease!

Hi, my 30 year old son has brain atrophy. Suffers from tremors, short and long term memory loss, difficulty walking falls alot.no answers from neurologists. Put him in gabapentin..does not help.

You must have meant 2015. I’m glad he is still around. Could it be lack of blood supply to the brain causing atrophy? Brain blockages or vein stenosis.

Did you take any vaccines during that time and if so, did your symptom start after taking a vaccine?

My dear friend was just diagnosed with severe cerebral atrophy after MRI’s post-stroke. This is not a hopeful post because he died after about 6 weeks due to stroke induced dysphasia which eventually led to pneumonia and he/family declined a feeding tube. He would have needed it permanently. What I can say is I think this atrophy caused his personality changes over the years. He had underlying Bipolar disorder too so it was very complicated. But we met in 2007, travelled to many countries and remained friends living in the same apartment complex but in separate apartments. He became increasingly hard to be with. He tried hard to keep up by reading and using his laptop which helped no doubt. He continued playing cribbage and doing Tai Chi with his group weekly as soon as Covid restrictions allowed. His intellect remained but his personality became very rigid until the stroke. Then his short term memory was severely impacted. Even with all our differences I miss him deeply and feel he left too soon. He was a wonderful companion in so many ways.

Hello, I have a son who has cerebral brain atrophy. He's 32, severe tremors , speech difficulty sometimes you can't understand what he's saying, his legs also give out while he is walking. He seems to forget things easily or can't remember times at all. .

I also have brain atrophy, just diagnosed accidentilly by CT scaqn when I went to immediate care because of an extreme headache in September 2023, I still have not seen a neurologist and don't have appt until late August, 2024 My PCP says it can either be mental or physical problem [or both] Have searched the internet to try to see what to expect. The literature I have found leads me to think it might be Parkinson's. Although, none of them mentioned brain atrophy. I have had falls for many years and I am 88 yr old, live alone. I am anxious to get a diagnosis, since I think the brain atrophy is just a symptom. Anyone else out there waiting in limbo to get into a neurologist.

@cara8895, the time waiting in limbo is the worst. Have you been able to secure an appointment with a neurologist in the meantime? How are you doing?
