Sorry to hear you are going through a rough time. I would definitely seek another opinion.

As B2Y mentioned, migraines can cause lesions as well as other neurological issues and not cause a headache like you typically hear about. Lesions can be caused by many other things as well not just MS. Even a virus can cause lesions, old head injuries, etc.

My concern would be the venous angioma combined with the neurological symptoms you are having. I certainly would push to get that looked in to more closely and/or get a 2nd opinion. Generally, although venous angiomas are rare, they don't do anything to treat them unless neurological symptoms start appearing (or so, that is my understanding), then they start investigating more.

Please do not hesitate to get another opinion and let us know how it goes. Many of us have been through the years of not knowing and can certainly relate to what you are going through right now. Additionally, many of us have seen different specialists including MS specialists. It can take some time to find that doctor that you click with and who will be your champion.

I am glad you found us and hope to see you post more. Let us know how you are doing and what you decide to do.
