    Lesions and brain inflammation are pointers to MS yes. Also taking aspartame/asulfame/phenylalanine sweeteners can cause this and people with ms can be affected by those sweeteners. Are you waiting to see a neuro because you need to.

      Im sorry you must be terrified, try not to be, if it is MS people living long fulfilled lives with it, you will need to manage stress. Things happen for a reason and irs a good job they were checking, now you can be looked at properly snd maybe make sense of some things. There's some lovely supportive people on here and Facebook if you do Facebook. Sending you healing and positive thoughts. Good luck. Oh and yes I've got MS m had too
