Hello bddouglas and welcome to NeuroTalk.

From what I can gather from the LP, it is looking like it is not MS.
Unfortunately, it cannot be determined by the outcome of one single test if it's MS or not. Diagnosing MS needs to take the entire medical history/testing into consideration, as well as ruling out the many other causes for symptoms.

I had 2 white spots on my brain MRI in 2007 and now I have "lots" of white spots on my brain MRI.
This (above) could possibly fulfill the " Dissemination in space and Dissemination in time." Your Neurologist will have a better understanding of your test results, medical history and neurological exam than I do.

This is one of many websites you can use to understand the McDonald Criteria for diagnosing MS:

Best wishes.
