Can someone please explain what is the difference between active lesions and non active. What do they look like? Do the lesions have to be in a certain part of the brain to be MS? Demylination is demylination whever it is, isnt it??? My neuro says my lesions are not in the right place, dont get it. I know how i feel and he cant tell me otherwise!!!!!!

I just cut and pasted the following from an online encyclopedia so you can take it for what it's worth:

In multiple sclerosis, lesions, also known as plaques, are patches of inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS) in which the nerve cells (neurons) have been stripped of their myelin, an insulating fatty protein. Lesions tend to be randomly distributed in the CNS white matter. The neurons of the white matter are responsible for sending communication signals both within the CNS and between the CNS and the rest of the body.
