Although I have RRMS not SPMS, I was diagnosed just over 30 years ago (1977) and never had an MRI until 2001. Lets face it, when we were diagnosed (on symptoms alone) MRI's hadn't been invented then.
I'm glad you have a positive attitude Sally because I believe it keeps us sane through "life after diagnosis".
Now back to the regular thread.......
I have lesions in my brain, my neck and my lumbar spine. I'm so mixed up right now that I don't know which lesion is causing what problem!
At present I have memory loss, fatigue, unsteady gait, leg stiffness, myclonic jerks, and a "sunburn" feeling when I haven't even been out in the sun.
I get neuropathic eye pain, urinary retention & bowel problems, mood swings and did I say memory loss?
I get blurred vision, muscle weakness, footdrop, hypersensitivity to noises, and did I mention memory loss?
The list goes on.
