I read your question carefully and I understand your confusion in front of all those terms.
After reading the report carefully I believe it points definitely towards the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. It is a chronic disease, not life threatening, but because of accumulating brain lesions it creates increasing disability.
However there are these days many medications to slow down the disease progression and many patients lead quality lives. You need to be followed regularly by a neurologist.
I hope to have been of help.
