Have you seen a neurologist? That should give you more answers than people on a message board can. I'd ask the doctor for a printed report if possible so you could show that to a neuro.

Elle, sorry about the spot, but one spot can be many things besides MS. You need to get a copy of the film for yourself (that's a normal request) and get a written copy of your doc's report on the film. Keep them in your records at home.

Follow his recommendation as to further testing. The MRI is only a first step.

Although I do have MS, the numerous white spots throughout my brain have had NO effect on me in 20 years. No memory loss. No eye problems. No speech or swallowing problems.

The lesions that affect me have all been on my C-spine and T-spine.

We'll be thinking of you.

The drooping eye with your presentation of migraine makes me think of possible atypical migraine. With only one lesion it may be inconclusive for MS. Remember the newscaster a few years back who had one-sided facial droop and slurring her words on the air? No stroke, no MS, but atypical migraine.

A good neurologists should be looking at different possibilities.
