One line MRI results?!

So, my MS had a very punchy start. A Neuro told me, dismissively, that there were "too many lesions to count" I'm now on Tysabri, and mercifully, it's given me a break. My last MRI results said "MS is stable, which is a relief". That was it. I'm so, so grateful it's calmed down, but equally this 'report' feels inadequate to me? I don't want the wool pulled over my eyes - and I know there have been repairs to damage...? Should I just count myself lucky or would other people be seeking more detailed info?

Good to hear your MRI showed that things have stabilised, especially after what you neurologist told you previously. Both the neurologist and radiologist would probably read your MRI report and then interpret the results. I suspect the report was about a page long, and would detail all lesions and locations in the brain. I suspect the person reporting the results to you made a decision about what they think you need to know. However, this can be wrong sometimes. I guess if you would like more detail you could ask your MS team. Usually a letter about the results is sent to the GP, and a copy to the patient. This letter may have further detail about the lesion. Definitely contact your MS nurse for more information. Good luck.

Thanks, Clary. Yep, that sounds right. Comms with neuros/nurses is tricky at the mo (I'll spare you details!) But the GP is an option. Cheers.
