MRI of head with contrast

Could you please explain my MRI result in plain English. Thank you
There is a bilateral periventricular lesion high signal change particularly about trigones & left frontal horn.
There is also a pericallosal lesion in relation to right lateral ventricular roof, though no obvious callosal lesion has been seen. Neither is there any convincing involvement of stem or cerebellum.
None of these abnormalities shown obvious pathological contrast enhancement.
In conclusion: This examination has shown numerous bilateral scattered cerebral white matter high signal changes.
Though non-specific, they are suggestive of demyelination. No eveidence of active disease has been seen."
I have been diagnosed with MS, Trigeminal neuralgia and optic neuritus. I Have MS problems which include reduced memory and mentalability.
Could you please put into plain English what the MRI means and what part of the body is likely to be affected by MS.
Also can you indicate what sort of MS I have. Many thanks.
