I have to confess that I haven't stayed up with the current research like I used to. Being as instensely involved as I used to be only frustrated me because the more I learned, the less optimistic I was about my own personal situation.

I am, however, fascinated about the spinal lesion detection, or lack thereof. My last spinal MRI (two years ago) showed no lesions, but I've had horrible problems with spasticity in my legs for what seems like forever. Perhaps there are some of those little troublesome spinal lesions hiding somewhere.

You've awakened a sleeping curiosity in me, and I'll be looking more closely at this particular aspect of our malady.

Thanks for the info!
