Hi meeshkap,
Unfortunately there are several things which can cause lesions on the brain. I think that epilepsy is one of them? It's good that your doctor is referring you to an MS specialist if there is any concern that it might be MS. 35-40 lesions does sound like a lot to me, but it still could not be MS. Was there any change in your MRI from the December scans and the March scans? If so, that might give you more clues before you see the MS neurologist. Let me know how your visit goes.

Thanks - no - there were no changes from December.
Oddly enough my sister had an MRI as well and she has the same lesions....
Both of us have epilepsy but no seizures since our first one... which were years ago....
Hmmm. strange.
We both have quite a few of them....
