So, I've been reading these forums since Wednesday when my MRI came back saying "t2 prolongnation" like a Gliosis. The radiologist report said "dymyelinating plaque cannot be totally excluded".
So, my hematologist said it was indicative of a possible MS diagnosis and sent me to the neuro.
However, he said tons of people have "spots", and if it were a ms lesion it was old. (I'm thinking you to that based on how it flared, right? But there's no where on the report that said how it did or didn't flare?)
When I specifically asked what the "demyelinating plaque cannot be totally excluded" meant, he said it was radiology mumbo jumbo, and basically they were just covering themselves.
But, after reading on these forums, it seems there's a lot of support for radiologists and what they say. I feel like the neuro completely brushed off the MRI, but he didn't give me a lot of evidence that made me feel like I could trust his reasonings in why the Gliosis wasn't a big deal.
Thoughts? I've really appreciated all your stories and advice...I'm hoping we get some answers soon(ish)!
