The only lesion my neurologist felt was important was the one in my right cerebellum. I don't know how big it is, but on the MRI it's the size of a fingerprint.

My radiologist report said something about T2 punctate lesions in the periventricular area, and white matter involvement of the right frontal horn. Whatever that means.

So with the cerebellum lesion, I've got:

• Right leg and arm spasticity and weakness
• Gait problems
• Bladder and etc. spasticity
• Tremor and head bob

Those are the only ones that specifically relate to the lesion...

My other symptoms are typical for MS:

• Numbness, right and left sides
• Cognitive impairment (worse when I feel worse)
• ON & nystagmus, light sensitivity
• Buzzing, tingling, cold sensations
• short-term memory loss

However, when I tell the neurologist I don't think as well as I used to, he tells me that's not possible, because I don't have a lesion in that area. Obviously he's a little behind the curve.

I don't remember the exact percentage, but the lesions visible in the brain are only about 20% of the actual damage present.
