I had an MRI which was normal but showed blocked sinuses, 2 years later I was + with blood tests

Hi there, I had my first MRI December 2012. The radiologist said I had MS. When my doctor reviewed the results she said she had seen spots/lesions in the brain due to Lyme Disease. Got the test and I was positive!

I had an MRI and something indicated nerve inflammation. Not a lesion but something glowed with the contrast. I'm not really sure but it came back abnormal. This made them suspect lyme or brain infection. Unfortunately it didn't show up in a tap.
