Confused please help me understand this crap

Ok here goes been battling with something for the last 3 years said to be probable multiple sclerosis had many mri that showed a few lesions but not other markers neg lp
the only thing on my previous MRI that i remember sticking out was abnormal non fatty bone marrow with over reactive something or nother and borderline spinal stenosis c5-c6 i believe the lp did show on a 3 week study my red blood cells where low and my 2 of my immunoglobins were low as well neg ana lupus lyme aids just not getting whats going on

on this MRI done 2/15/2014

Mri of the brain
Finding:
Midline structures of the brain include corpus Collosum and pituitary gland demonstrate normal morphology and signal intensity
Reduced marrow signal with in the clivus visualized upper cervical spine within skull unchanged
There is normal signal intensity within superior sagittal sinus
Visualized cervical cord within normal limits
A Few tiny High T2 Flair signal cerebral white matter lesions again identified unchaged
NOrmal flow voids at base of brain
No susceptibility artifact on gradient sequence to suggest hemorage
No areas of restricted diffusion
Mild benign appearing mucosal disease of sphenoid sinus and ethmoids
Impression
No acute intercranial process a few tiny white cerebral white matter lesions are again identified non specific but stable
Presume Hemopoietic marrow changes unchanged

MRI cevical and Thoracic spine
Presumed hempoietic bone marrow signal intensity with in the cervical and upper thoracic spine
visualized cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord unremarkable craniocervical junction appears within normal limits paravertebral soft tissues appear within normal limits
c2-c3-c4-c5 no significant disc pathogy NO CANal or foraminal stenosis
C5-C6 mild broad based disc potrusion mildy compresses ventral cord narrowing ap diam canal to 9mm no stenosis foramen patent
C6-C7 minimal broad based disc potrusion canal and foramen patent
C7-T1 and below canal and foramen patent at all levels

Impression
minimal disc buldge at c5c6c7 no cord lesion so stenosis

I know this was long but if you can tell me what it means i would be very grateful i have all the symptoms of ms actually my very 1st mri showed 3 lesions 2nd showed 5 no specific amount on this one also all my mri was done without contrast
