Could you please translate it to the less medical language ?

This is a reading of my first ever MRI .
I have  many symptoms ( since 14 years ) consistent with MS.
Never investigated , although complained occasionaly during routine physical .( Three vertigos , limited ranch of motion in one arm , numb toe , permanent numbness in a one side of a groin area to name just few of them )
My question is what are the chances this is MS ?
Never knew much about MS until this past October .
I'am 49 , female , born in North Europe , living in USA.
Any info will help .  Thanks  

MRI reading
" There is no evidence of midline shift of mass effect .
There is focal abnormal increased signal  intensity on FLAIR and T2 wighted sequences within the left frontla subcortical wite matter . This forcal abnormal increased signal intensity measures approximately 1 cm in maximum dimension and appears to have well - defined margins . There is an additional focus of abnormal signal intensity adjacent to this lesion and there are multiple additional focal areas of abnormal increased signal intensity on FLAIR and T2 weighted sequences involving the periventricular and subcortical white matter . The axial image ...on the T2 weithed sequences demonstrates focal increased signal intensity that appears to radiate laterally from the region of the corpus callosum , and these findings are suggestive of possible demyelinating disease ." -
