The written word loses it's ability to come across the same as when people speak face to face so I do want to say that what I am writing is meant sincerely.
If your Dr. has already said your MRI does not indicate a disease process then why come to a MS forum? If you are in doubt about what your Dr. has told you, you do have the right to get a second or even third opinion.
Age can cause brain lesions but I don't know what age is considered "age related." I have read that smoking or being exposed to smoke can cause brain lesions but I don't know what percentage or how common it is. I was raised around smokers and I have never seriously considered smoking as a cause for developing MS (I just don't think it had any bearing in my case).
