Hello everyone,

I'm new to this so bear with me if you will. I was diagnosed 3 years ago after going to many different specialists. Finally when my right side went completely numb my neurologist had me get an MRI of my spine. She kept telling me that my brain was pristine (taken for migraines) so she didn't think it was MS, it could be cancer or some other terrible disease. When she got the results of my spine MRI I had a leison there. Then 3 months later she finally gave in and had me get both a spine and brain MRI. The nurse called me on January 3rd telling me I had MS. We were just settling into our dream home and it floored us.

I went to the doctor on 1/9 and she said that I had Dawson's fingers and it's a definite sign of MS. She showed me the MRI and it looks like someone laid 3 fingers across my brain. She also told me she had never seen a brain change that fast before. There were a total of 20 leisons on my brain.

I was finally able to put a reason to why I couldn't do my job anymore, or come up with simple words when I needed them.

I guess my point or questions is, is there anyone else out there like me where they have gotten so many leisons so quickly?

Thanks for listening
