[@cherry2619]

what is MS like? What are your symptoms? I'm 20 yo and I did an MRI scan bc I had a 2 month migraine and the scan shows i have those exact T2 paraventricular hyperintensities associated with MS but i dont have any symptoms.. yet

Ok great site! My tests said i had RRMS in 1986 or so. Was about 20 Then I went on big Avonex im shots for a few years. Not too painful as diseases go but man those shots SUCKED and the blasted disease never ended. Now im 50 yrs old and still poorly walking my dogs daily. Idk if i just got lucky or what...but im thankful anyway!

You can often get a disc with your MRI images. The images can be opened in an image manipulation program like PhotoShop

[@DrBarrySinger]

+metaspencer Most MRI CDs come with software on the CD itself to view the MRI images. If the CD doesn't open spontaneously, you can often click on the application file when viewing the list of the CD contents. Always best to get your healthcare provider to review your MRI images with you. Hope this helps!

[@MaryTunstall]

Awesome explaination thanks for making this video. Many doctors don't explain MRI results. My neuro when I ask how many lesions etc just says does it matter? I believe it is helpful for us MS patients to know and understand. It also helps us to see when we are on track.This video was helpful to me for this time I ended up not only having new lesions but showing the dreaded blackholes. Knowing these might and can go away with the right medication was hopeful to me thank you!

[@katdearth8272]

Thank you so much for this info. All my neurologist told me was "So you had some white spots twenty years ago, and you still have some now, so what's the problem?" This video was VERY helpful.

[@Traceyi1000]

Oh brother! The doctor gets away with this?

[@barbz1177]

I had the first neuro say that's old burned put MS you have anxiety. Went to an MS specialist after that comment. I didnt have a symptom until age 55.

[@PallasAthene12]

Thank you very much for this. I have a brain/cervical spine contrast MRI scan this week (to explore potential MS diagnosis). This is really helpful and clear so I can ask the right questions about the results at my follow up.

[@onefabknitternz]

I have just left hospital after 2.5 months learning to walk and talk again . I was told nothing was in the scan so it can’t be ms . However I was discharged and saw it says “ left lobe t2 hyper sensitivies ‘ isn’t that the area to do with walking and talking . I have met with m s society who said 40% don’t have lesions show on mri if they are microscopic .yet the symptoms are still there . They also said 10% don’t show wirh spinal tap and mri . I was instead told I have FND . However I know this is often misdiagnosed when it’s ms esp if you have functional symptoms as a result of the m s symptoms. Would you suggest I get further testing / second opinion ? I am very fit , super healthy to a fault , don’t drink or smoke or take any medications .

May I ask, is an MRI powered at 3T, with 3.5 mm slices and gaps, 8 minute session sufficient to be able to see the types of lesions or damage that are stroke or MS related? If the above MRI is read as normal, does a patient require further testing, if MS Symptoms are present?

[@DrBarrySinger]

Most closed MRI scans use 1.5 Tesla magnetic power, but 3 T (Tesla) gives you even better views (especially of the spinal cord). A normal MRI brain doesn't rule out multiple sclerosis. MS can affect optic nerves and cervical/thoracic spinal cord while sometimes (but not frequently) spare the brain.

[@darlene1187]

DrBarrySinger Thank-you for your response. How kind of you to find time in what I can only imagine is a very busy schedule to do so.

[@korrine888]

I have MS symptoms, and 2 hyperintensities in my deep white matter as seen on a couple MRIs. My dr doesn’t seem concerned? And is just wanting to get an annual MRI checkup. Should I be pushing for more tests? What are other tests to help figure out if it’s MS or not?

[@clairelyons6500]

Suggestion; Ask Dr. Aaron Boster, MD. here on U-Tube, an MS Specialist In MS," from Ohio. (And very good!) He has live chats weekly. Subscribe and hit the bell so you will know when he's live. Or, watch his informative videos. All are very helpful! Take care.

[@DrBarrySinger]

Depending on the location and appearance of the white matter lesions and your symptoms, sometimes a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis can be made. MRI of the cervical and thoracic spinal cord, spinal fluid testing and visual evoked potentials can also help confirm MS. Check out my website www.mslivingwell.org diagnosing MS section: www.mslivingwell.org/learn-more-about-ms/diagnosing-multiple-sclerosis/

Do you need to scan with contrast to test for MS? Or can it be spotted without contrast?

[@adityakrishnan1243]

Contrast gives more clarity.

[@loribennett5724]

the white spots are older or newer that are not abscess or bleeding darker means bleeding

[@robnickolson89]

white spots are calcifications, while dark ones are scars.

But what are your views on the deposits that remain in the brain and organs after taking an MRI with contrast please? There isn't enough information about that in here. Could the toxins in these deposits aggreviate symptoms pls?

[@cherry2619]

@Practical 100% i'm no specialist or anything, but if you notice that the leg tightness leaves every time you eat or drink something, then i wouldn't think it's a symptom of MS at all, because the MS symptom should be there regardless of whether you're eating or not. I do know that many physicians say that a symptom of MS should last at least 24 hours, so if yours doesn't then that might also be an indication that it's not MS. In either case, see a doctor because I'm not a specialist but I don't think you should be afraid.
