This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

thanks for asking- only thing that showed up in report was a 3mm low signal lesion, "most likely calcification or previous hemorhage"- my PCP said this was nothing. so I guess no lesions making MS likely? I see the neurosurgeon tomorrow- i don't think I can avoid surgery any longer in a lo...

So, I had my Brain MRI Friday afternoon, and asked for a CD. So of course I came home and looked at it. I do see white spots, especially on the post contrast- they are like little christmas lights, around perimeter, and around the ventricles- very little and quite a few.

I completely understand your thinking that it's anxiety or you being a hypochondriac! I feel like that a lot, and being a nurse makes it worse- I imagine all sorts of things! I am new to this forum, no diagnosis, just looking for some input. Hang in there, that's all I'm doing right now!

Thank you for the reply- it looks like my first step is to change from my current GP- i dread calling him or going to see him- he's the one that makes me feel like a hypochondriac! Another big concern right now is the time dr's appointments take- I am the main breadwinner and have already taken time...
