A member asked:

I had an mri and it showed brain flairs and. i have had lots of test done, the dr seems to think. the spots are from my headaches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spots: Headaches/migraines can have small lesions on mri. These are different size, location and shape than ms lesions. I see so many people in my clinic for, "abnormal mri." again, it can be migraine related. Also, migraines do not have to mean headaches.
