That bit is good as no MS 🙂

Thank you @Pumper_Sue for the link. That’s really interesting. Yes I felt so pleased and fortunate that it’s not MS 🙂

The "Mild generalised age-related atrophy" sounds normal, mine would probably be worse if it shows the alcohol as well as age.
"Mild changes of small vessel ischaemic disease"
Basically, ischaemic means blood supply can be restricted due to a blockage, or narrowing of a blood vessel.
That doesn't say what the baseline was, or how long the change has been over, did they comment on that, or suggest any treatment, or lifestyle changes?
Again though, it happens to all of us with age.
