I do believe I posted earlier in this thread and will reiterate that...IF you feel outta a tree as a kid, or got a concussion in a car accident or whatever even YEARS ago...those things do show as 'lesions'. That is why it is important to get and find keep hoard whatever copies of your prior films and reports on that brain of yours.
A few years ago I'd had a MRI and the 'readers' asked me about 'accidents' .. It'd been soo long ago [15+/-] years I really had to think about it? You tend not to think that things that long ago can affect you now? Once I recalled a solid concussion and how I'd fallen etc...the docs just went...OK That's that ... but we will 'watch' it. Essentially it means, that if IF you fell off the rocking horse in front of the K-Mart when you were 10 years old...YEPPERS it'll show up now. Key here to keep in mind, is that those 'lesions' do not change! Who could ask for more?
I agree with Many that you should see a specialist...but depending on where you live a GOOD or KEY specialist might not be available.... While a good NEURO PN specialist is ideal, often they aren't available? Maybe consider [and Bob please don't condemn me here?] a MS specialist? They are familiar with the old DEMEYELINATION word and could rule out MS fairly readily...maybe steer you to someone who can really zero in and help treat you. Honestly I don't think a Rheumy or an Immunologist will be much use with the whole NERVE issue, unless they are surprisingly enlightened?
There are docs out there who can help! Trick is finding them! 's and HOPE! - j
