Have you talked to your neuro about the MRI result yet and has the neuro seen the actual scan, not just the report? Because that report reads almost exactly like the one that I got right before I got an MS diagnosis. You clearly have some lesions showing in areas typical of MS (T2 hyperintensities in periventricular white matter), so I guess the question I would have is what is keeping the neuro from wanting to call it MS? Is it just the number of lesions? Or have you not had new lesions or new symptoms separated by time from your original set? My advice would be not to assume anything until you actually see the neuro and the neuro actually sees the scans. If your neuro doesn't want to look at the scans and is just reading the radiologist's report, go get a new neuro.
If you read my story on the "My Story" thread, you will see that in my case, even though the radiologist's report said the equaivalent of "no changes", when the neuro looked at the scans, she found enough changes to dx me with MS. Good luck with things, but be careful not to read too much into what the radiologist is saying, because they are purely looking at the scans and are likely to be unaware of symptoms or other clinical evidence that would support a specific dx.
