Brain lesions and: Symptoms of ms may overlap and are similar with other autoimmune conditions. Trust your dr. Quitting smoking will help prevent worsening of your symptoms. Eating more fruits and veggies and exercising regularly will boost your immune system. Best wishes!http://www.Autoimmunemom.Com/vitamins-herbs/top-five-herbs-for-autoimmune.Html.

See below: Brain lesions that can be seen on MRI that are similiar to ms can be seen with a clotting disorder known as antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. If you a history of miscarriages or blood clots, you want to be to checked for this and if you have it you must quit smoking as it will elevate your risk for clots and strokes.

Not so simple: Tough to say that brain lesions are not consistent with ms, and would recommend MRI of spinal cord, and maybe spinal fluid analysis. Make sure that you do not have a different disorder contributing to brain lesions, such as lyme disease, lupus, vitamin b-12 issues. Perhaps the lesions were due to migraine or prior head injury. Consider second opinion.
