[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 428650, member: 1991"] Lesions, even six of them, do not necessarily a diagnosis of MS make. Just a word of caution, Jen. When you are so anxious for some sort of concrete information it is easy to grab onto the first twig floating past, only to find out later it is not going to support you. Sounds like you really lucked out on the MRI - in Australia we have one of the best health systems in the world, and I've had to wait weeks to get my MRI results. Other times, I've had the results within a few days, but in my experience the faster the results, the less reliable. Sadly. So be wary, is all I'm saying. There's some shonky stuff out there and this doesn't sound right to me, in lots of little ways. I would hate to see you taken advantage of... and there's only a few pics? That doesn't sound like any MRI I know. I'm wondering who these guys are, I would be VERY cautious. The MRI may have been fast and free, but it may just be an elaborate con job. What should have already been done, is VERs and EMG. Every so often my neuro puts me through the paces and wires me into his various contraptions. A positive VER is common in MS. Not 100% overlap, but it is so commonly found (and a lot cheaper than MRI to administer) that they often run these as a screen. Some people find the EMG a bit challenging. I don't know why, it doesn't bother me. I prefer EMG to mammogram any day! But then, post-cancer, mammograms hurt a helluva lot more! Marg [/QUOTE]
