To properly be diagnosed, you need to show 2 episodes of lesions appearing, they have to be separated in time and space. Read our "how MRIs show Lesions in MS" Health Page to the right of this set of posts. It has some really good information and is well explained.
As TLC says, its not a death sentence and MS is a slow moving train, it takes awhile usually.
It's possible your MRI, mentioning venous problems, is not even including MS. There is a criteria that neurologists have to follow to diagnose MS.
Welcome to our corner, who checks in depends on their schedule and how many posts they have time to read and sometimes its days before someone with the right knowledge can answer your question, but you do have some gaps so that we can't give you too much help. Please let us know what your neuro says, we all learn from each other!

I’m sorry no one has responded to you yet. I may not be of much help either, partly because I don’t know anything beyond what you’ve written here. Basically, all I can say is that most of us don’t speak medicalese, so reading an MRI or another medical report can cause unnecessary stress or false hope. Try not to overthink this.
If the neuro diagnoses you with MS on Dec. 10 (or at a later visit), know that it is not a death sentence, that you can treat it and live well. In some ways you may actually consider it a relief to be diagnosed (as I did) because then you have an explanation for what ails you.
Come back and ask questions anytime!
