Here is some information about diagnosing MS:
http://www.nationalmssociety.org/abo...-ms/index.aspx
according to neuro - Report says small white matter lesion within the right frontoparietal operculum and within the white matter of the left parietal lobe. Says likely age related.

My spinal tap and clinical observation in office were neg.

Do lesions have to be in certain areas of brain to be MS specific?
