O-bands can be found in other diseases, as can various shapes/sizes of brain lesions. He would want to be sure they are the "MS" variety . . .
I think you are right, Snoopy, he may be waiting for the second attack or change in MRI (McDonald criteria).

You're good, you know that?
I'm just thinking, what are the odds anybody would have C spine lesions from Tranverse Myelitis, plus brain lesions (a dozen of them) from something unknown AND O bands from yet another cause?
If I were a neuro, MS would be the horse and not the zebra here.
Either that or Molpep should win a prize for collecting the most rare disorders in one day.
All that said, it is okay for him to watch and be sure before dx-ing. I wish he would not have given the dx and tsaken it back. Once you say it, just stick with it unless you were wrong about it. Or don't say it at all.
