You didn't have a stroke (acute infarction)! Yay!

Go back to your neuro and see what they have to say. Something else that is important that your text didn't say are the areas where the lesion and flairs are located. MS has some locations that are usually considered "typical" and where they specifically look for damage...not that it always works out that way.

Best of luck!

Thank you for your reply. The area affected is the left temporal lobe. I don't have another appointment with the Dr. for three weeks, so I am anxious to know if this lesion has anything to do my symptoms. Clearly, the definitive interpretation will be for my Dr.
