Please remember this is a peer support group... posters expecting a diagnosis/prognosis really will not find those details.
We have a few people here familiar with MRI jargon, etc, but not many.

Secondly, if a poster has an unusual condition, where not many people receive that unusual diagnosis, there won't be many responses here.

When posting it is best to put a good keyword into the title of your posts...this is then picked up by the automated bots and then appears in Google, Bing or whatever searches. Many people come here thru searches that way.

For the most part, I think most posters leave after a while, for whatever reason. It takes a strong person to read about other people's pain and misery, and remain strong themselves. Misery compounds the reader's own pain, in many cases. This is why you find many off topic posts on our forums, as a relief and safety valve for reading depressing painful struggles all day long. I feel this especially because I don't just read PN forum, I read ALL the forums!
