Confused!!

Hi everyone, I had an mri scan back in January. It was just a normal scan - no dye was used. So I eventually got the results a few weeks ago. The letter started with ‘no change since 2015 scan’ I was so scared to open it I was unfolding it as I read. I was relieved!! The the second paragraph started with there are 3 new lesions!! WTF!! So there clearly has been a change! What would you make of that? It then said that based on my results he didn’t think I should change drugs (I came off tec as it wasn’t working out - so now I am on nothing) He said the thing to focus on is that I have been relapse free since 2014/15 - but I have not been symptom free as often suffer from chronic pain and fatigue, pins and needles, and numb toes and finger tips! I don’t really want to be on any drugs, the only thing I would consider is lemtrada but where I live that is highly unlikely as I have already been refused once on diagnosis. Do I go back to him and ask him to explain more as it’s contradicting?

@hollylb10 , I don't know whether the comments on this post help:- https://shift.ms/forums/topic/progression-with-no-new-lesions ?

Sorry @stumbler that does not really help. Although I have not read the full post, but I don’t want to think about progression. I’m just confused as to why he says there is no change, yet there are 3 new lesions!
