I’m  not sure if anyone can back me. I have left a message for my nurse but unfortunately it does take time for an answer. Anyway just got my latest mri report & I’m really confused by what they’ve said. Am I right in thinking it is saying they’re is signs although low my lesions have got worse🤔
also I don’t get the meaning of the comparison to my other mri🥺🙈 any help greatly appreciated💞
‘corresponding low T1 signal denoting chronicity of the lesions. 
Known MS, followup, the current study shows stable supratentorial white matter demyelinating plaques, compared to March 23 scan with no MRI evidence of active plaques by diffusion criteria non contrast criteria only.’

@Zodog . I feel that these terms are used to make the report unintelligible to us mere mortals. However, there's a couple of links here, further information , which might assist.

 

Personally, I do not get concerned with what my brain is doing. I have little control over it so why worry. The only important aspects of MS are the impact that it is presently causing you, how to recover and how to prevent it worsening.

 

Just discuss what the MRI results mean to you with your Neuro next time you see them.

    • Understanding results of MRI scan

      I don't know if anyone can help, but all your brains are better than my one! About two months ago I had my second MRI (first was 20 years ago which confirmed ms diagnosis). The consultant then phoned to give me the results. She said there are the lesions in the brain which you would expect in someone who has spms. However, the good news is she said, that there is no inflammation so no new lesions developing. I have since tried to understand what this means. Surely spms means there is no inflammation and how can this news be good? Does it mean that further disability will not develop? For example, my right hand has an intention tremor and so I rely heavily on my left hand to do tasks, like typing this post. It would be a relief to know that I will retain function in my left hand. Any thoughts appreciated!   Jill xx

    • GOT MY MS REPORT NOW IM LAUGHING

      Reading this report from a supposed ms speacilist i have gone past crying to wanting beat his brains to now laughing the more i read and take it in the more im thinking his for real. I have a few neurologist due to the fact no one seems to have clue so i have been passed from department to department. The report confirms a negative rombergs test and convergenec in both eyes with IMO not related to ms and a list of eight other symptons one being a new thing both hips have a mild flexion weakness. Since 2002 they have know this but failed to tell me so now i am stunned im i stupid or should a neurologist know someone who deals with brain and spinal disease when there is significant symptons. Can any you help i would gladly answer any questions       HAZEXX
