I'm laughing here at Bets making hers into cards...were they Christmas cards?

Legzz, are you a radiologist? I am asking that because when you look at an MRI even the radiologists and docs will ALL have a different read!

I'm one of those people like Gazelle who tends to analyze every detail. I started trying to analyze my MRIs and the reports, but finally settled on trusting my doc, although I asked him to go over the details of the radiology report and discussing it in detail along with viewing the MRI at the same time, with me. His take was different than the radiologist's every time.

You can drive yourself nuts with this stuff!

This is a sticky on the MS forum but I'll post it here just in case you missed it:

It explains the sx of lesions found in various locations. It's helped me quite a bit.

wow thanks too Cherie....for that site...I might just pull out my scans and give them a peeksie....I believe mine were clear as they stated..but there were a few small areas I wondered about. BUT I know I am not a dr or a radiologist...but curious now that see that site and how they explain things...hmmmm

good luck to the poster ...hope that site helps..and wish you luck on the health, hugsss from an undx, sarah

i remember once when i went to the hospital to pick up a copy of an mri report.
i didn't understand something and actually called the reporting dr to ask him some Q's.

it probably helped that i was a nurse and worked in the hospital.
but i suppose a dr is a dr and you could still call.
unless they told you to check with your own dr.

if your dr isn't being honest with you that's a cause for concern, imho.
