Unhappy Lesions and diagnosies

HI all,

I had a lesion located via MRI on my cervical spine in november of last year, i was then sent for a round of tests including a lumbar puncture,eye nerve test, bloods, and an MRI on my brain. The lumbar puncture came back positive for oligoclonal bands, bloods and eye nerve tests came back negative and the MRI came back showing 12 lesions on my brain - the radiologist said that these were not the usual size or site of ms lesions due to the treatment i had undergone for the lesion on my spine, but he still felt they were demylenation. Initially my neurologist diagnosed me with MS and suggested going into clinical trials. Then changed his mind saying that he wanted to wait until i had a second clinical episode of ms before beginning any treatments. I am confused as if these lesions are not from ms, what would they be considering all the other test results and the radiologists report? Can anyone think of any reasons for the change of heart? My neurologist is not great at explaining things and makes me feel stupid when i ask questions or tell him about things such as my legs going numb when i walk, falling over and excessive fatigue.
