Well, yes, from what I've heard as well, brain
lesions are a sure reason for an MS dx.
On the other hand, I was also told that once
there is a second attack in a different part of the spine, the dx changes
from single sclerosis (TM) to multiple (two or more) sclerosis.
Ergo the change of dx.
The change of dx didn't upset us one
bit. It meant me missus qualified for the ABCs, and today, 325
injections later (I shudder at the 'real' cost), Da Boss is doing just fine,
thankyew.....;>)
Hang in there, y'all........

I find it odd that if there are no lesions on
your brain that the doctors have determined that you now have MS. I
have been under the belief that lesions on the brain 'usually' is why the
diagnosis changes from TM to MS.
I have a sister 3 yrs younger than
myself who has MS. Hers is the slow moving kind and she was
officially diagnosed back in 1991 but feels she had it for many more years
than that. In 1991 she had her second 'attack' and the MRI at that
time found the brain lesions which were not in her first MRI a few years
prior to that.
