The MRI photos I've shared show a progression of lesions as compared to 13 months ago. Could this be MS even though lesions are not necessarily in the areas seen with MS??

Hi,
I wish mine were that good. It's more a point in time than a comparison of two data points. Did they do your spine? That's often more telling.
You should not trust anyone here to interpret those images unless they are trained in the area. We can all see the spots you mean but without a long series of images at different depths and from a range of angles you could make a false interpretation and it is simply the wrong way to seek advice. An important question to ponder is whether lesions are a cause or a symptom.
Good luck in the future but life isn't this straight forward.
Regards,
