I was diagnosed back in 1997 with only one lesion. So of course they had to call it clinically probable MS. Through all these years I still have that one lesion. My neuro was considering after many years of wondering if it was something else but then I had optic neuritis. So i have had 3 exacerbations with this one lesion and so I now have a definite diagnosis.

So glad you have a good neuro. Mine is the kind that as she examines me or looks at MRI's she thinks out loud. It can be comical to be in the room with her. Now their office has this computer system that as she examines me she stops and dictates a bit. Examines me some more and dictates into her little machine some more. I can really know not only what she is thinking out loud to me but what she actually puts down in the record. As an ex RN I know that what a doctor says to a patient isn't always what they put in the chart.
