Diagnosis Filled In

Multiple sclerosis. "Lots of scars."

My gut feeling was that it was MS, but somehow it still surprised me to hear the neurologist say that's what it really is. She listened to my symptoms and knew that's what it was. When she glanced at the MRI, she immediately saw two "classic" MS lesions, one of which was rather large and sitting right in the memory area--frontal lobe. The other one was in the temporal lobe, which probably explains the language processing difficulty sometimes.
