Hi Zeara and welcome to NeuroTalk.

Quote:
Do let me know what you think as she could not explain to me what the FLAIR etc meant
FLAIR stands for: Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery. It is simply a sequence in MRI imaging and is used in the diagnostic process of many different things. In the case of Multiple Sclerosis it helps "light up" active lesions (inflammation)

Your MRI is viewed by a Radiologist who then writes up a report about findings and possible reasons for those findings. The MRI is not a diagnosis. It is up to a Neurologist or other specialist to determine what has caused lesions on your MRI, this is usually done by more testing to rule in/out all possibilities.
