Well my doctor was able to get a neurologist to see me immediatley. He didn't think that I had MS, but he still said that the lesions shouldn't be happening at this young age. Thus my family doctor has now sent a referral to Montreal which supposedly has the #1 Neurlogical Hospital in the world. My uncle in New Jersey who is a neurologist concurs as he send his patients to Montreal..
I will keep everyone posted....

Lesions can also be associated with Lyme Disease and migraines - not always MS
My doctor is trying to get a quick appt with the neurologist asap. In the meantime, I have faxed all my reports, MRI and blood work to my uncle in NJ who is the head of Neurology in of the hospitals there. So hopefully I will find out soon enough how severe this problem is.

For the lesion I would suggest an MRI. Lesions are usually linked to Multiple Schlerosis, don't want to scare you any. But, it will be necessary. Would your doctor be able to help you any in speeding the test? Hope this helps.
heh... I guess that's the price you pay for cheap medical care... too bad :( If you don't feel good or have worsening symptoms, you should go straight to the Emergency room.
I'm not too sure whether the mri was in contrast. Unfortunately in Toronto, there is almost a 6 month waiting list to see a Neurologist. I'm just waiting hoping that forums like this one can shed some light on what is going on after reading my MRI report.

You have neck pain and occipital headache with blurry vision and brain lesions. While neck pain could be anything from a little arthritis to muscular pain to, what's called "occipital neuralgia," the brain lesions are unusual. Did you have your MRI with contrast? I think if you see a neurologist, he should order a spinal tap to make sure you don't have any kind of meningeal infection or demyelinating problems.
