Lesion count - how many have we all got?

Hi first post - very recently diagnosed consultants comments whilst in hospital were ‘I think this has been going on for a very long time’ at the time I didn’t know what, now I do. Neurologist confined diagnosis and gave me a count of 23 in my brain with one active and 3 in my spine with one active - from everything I’ve seen this all seems very higher with most people reporting 3-5 lesions!

Not sure how many, my neurologist literally scrolled through my MRI saying "lesion, lesion, lesion..." It seemed like a lot, I zoned out and my wife freaked out. I have two on my spine, maybe more, I never asked. I learned the other day I have a new addition on my frontal lobe, which is fun. The important thing to remember is it's quality not quantity:)

I think i have around ten small ones, and theyve been the same since diagnosis.
