Default New Member - Demyelination

Hi ... I am New here. Very Much in Shock. Had MRI with/without Contrast.
After reading the report and looking at the images Neuro Dr says he feels certain he see's a Demyelination process. I looked at the images with him... I was in shock to see the White Spots on my Brain. Over 4 of them.

For years i have had what i called Flare Up's of ( on and off )
1. Extreme Fatigue
2. Weakness
3. Pain
...........I have always believed this was due to my thyroid - I also have Hashimoto's ... I have also always had high Inflammation in my body.
(ex: Sed rate - CRP - CH100 )...well after this MRI - Looks like i was WRONG...
and Now Neuro Dr wants to do a Spinal Tap. I am Scared... Could this really be MS..???

Lately My Symptoms was worse... Mental Decline, Legs are feeling weird like they are falling asleep - tingling, ... if they find it to be MS...and I start Meds will this Leg stuff stop... The tingling is making me crazy... It;s like a constant reminder i MIGHT HAVE MS,,...???
Will Meds take away symptoms..??
I am Confused...
PS. So Far i have No Optic involvement ...?
Thank You for any response...
