I just had head scan for head neck pain. Neuro said it showed demyelination of Lyme or various other diseases.
Anyone else have this?
He mentioned doing a spinal tap, which I do not want.

I agree with lymetoo..I had a spinal but I do not think most with lyme should. Jess.

I had a mri and 4 brain lesions which was diagnosed as MS. Since I am also positive for lyme I think that's what caused the lesions.

Silver had demyleniating lesions which, to non LLMD's, would be dx'd as MS. Her ND, at the time, was fairly certain they were Lyme lesions.

Yep, I have several "hyperintense white matter brain lesions" that show up on MRI. I also had a spinal tap.

When i was first diagnosed some years ago, the MRI showed punctate hyperintensities on the white matter.
