I don't know about anyone else, but the docs seem to skirt explaining the MRIs. I was diagnosed in 02 and just this year a doc told me I had about 6 scattered lesions. I can remember watching the docs look at the films and basically say nothing, show me nothing and explaining absolutley nothing.
I really think they just need to see the spots......thats it.
They can't predict what they will do or when they will do it or if they will result in a problem at all. They can only tell that their are MS lesions and if they are active or not.
You can get a breakdown of parts of the brain and the skills performed in those areas....but then again, MS doesn't always make sense whether there is a lesion in a particular area or not!
