Thanks for your reply. I made an appointment for a neurologist this coming Monday.
I was also wondering, when I had my MRI done on my brain a year ago, when the doctor or whoever it is that reads the results reviews it, do they do a comprehensive review for other abnormalities or do they only look for the item that the doctor did the MRI for? For example the doctor ordered the MRI to make sure there were not tumors or anything in my Brain and it came back with everything fine. Would they have also, if there were any, noticed anything else going on like lesions or anything? Thanks!

Welcome, outside.. The Radiologist, who usually reads the MRI results, would certainly note if there were any lesions showing on the screen and what they may implicate.

Thanks for joining us and please Let us know what your Neuro says/thinks.

Welcome to NT!!

I agree with Sally...did your MRI come with contrast (did you get an IV injection towards the end of the MRI?). Contrast will show any active lesions in the brain and spinal cord.

When you see the neuro, bring all test results as well as a list of your symptoms, dates of onset and remission, and questions. It helps you get all the info you need.

Good luck, and keep us up to date on what's going on

Debbie,
It did include the contrast, so I guess that's good news that at that time they didnt mention that they saw any type of lesions or anything at that point.
