Tongue My head is spinning...................

Ok so I talked to the nurse today and she said the radiology report say no c-spine lesions but one brain lesion. So I had to send the 2007 MRI films to them so they can compare just to see if I have a lesion in a different area now.

Here is what my 2007 said.
"Abnormal right optic nerve demonstrating enhancement without mass lesion along its intraorbital segment. Imaging findings compatible with On. Additional note is made of a a small nonspecific area of increased signal associated enhancement in the right posterior frontal sub cortical white matter. this may represent a concomitant area of active inflammatory disease such as that may be seen with acute demyelination. Clinical and MRI follow up is suggested."

I was diagnosed by a different MS doctor based on the MRI above and clinical signs in my neuro exam.

On Friday my new MS doctor told me he thinks I am in the 5% of people with MS who have very few lesions. He said my neuro exams are positive for definite MS.

No c-spine lesions is a huge relief!! My MRI on Friday had a lesion in my brain but of course it is not in the "typical" place for an MS lesion.

This is crazy. The doctor said he would dx me even if the MRI showed nothing because of my neuro exam but I am still stressed! However my MRI in 2007 and MRI on Friday were not clean.
