What Causes Dizziness With Arm And Leg Numbness When Diagnosed With MS?

Spinal tap confirms/excludes the diagnosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Subcortical white matter hyperintensities on brain MRI could be related to Multiple sclerosis, small artery disease of the brain, or chronic hypoxic changes.
If it is possible to upload some of MRI pictures, I can understand better your condition.
Multiple sclerosis diagnosis is not only made by imaging studies, clinical data and neurologic examination together with spinal tap examination about antibodies associated with MS.
Your symptoms resemble those of MS, MRI results let some doubts, to be sure, spinal tap needed.
Another thing, if Avonex improved your symptoms, it is more likely MS.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
