Hi Foxy from another Buckeye!

Ess is absolutely right that your radiologist report really doesn't say much....

Its time to work with your neuro for some solid answers, which may take a while.  

best wishes,
Lulu

Hi, foxey. Your MRI report is pretty non-specific. Usually they are worded differently with more description of what is seen. However, the radiologist suggests migraines as one cause of the abnormalities seen. The other possibility is a demyelinating disease. MS is just one of these. Since nothing is enhancing, the lesions are considered not to be new.

This all means little in itself. The most important thing is the findings of your neuro, who should be doing quite a few other rule in/rule out tests and a very thorough neurological examination.

I hope that's what's happening.
