Thanks guys!
yes, it is amazing how doctors can look at the same MRI and see different things.
My neurologist is wonderful, and after I was dx in Jan....I did not want to believe it, so I went to a comprehensive MS clinic about 2 1/2 hrs from my home. He agreeed with my neuro, and said he saw lesions on the MRI disc consisitant with MS too.
I do know that the Radiologist report is just a small piece of the MS picture....but they have ALL the training to read theses MRI's, so it just doesn't make sense.
My neuro exam:
1-hyperactive deep tendon reflexes
2-positive babinski
3-positive hoffmans sign
4-absent abdominal reflex
5-positive rombergs sign
6-Ataxic gait
7-nystgmus
8-optic neurtis
9-delayed SSEP (evoked potentials)
10-Vit D defiency
When I read that list, I guess I shouldn't question my dx. I am however trying to get disability.....and I am afraid they will see the Radiologist report and question my dx and not award my disability.
