I was told I had MS in 1988 - without an MRI. I spent 16 months on a waiting list for an MRI. The 1989 MRI showed 3 lesions.

My 1994 MRI had only 1 lesion. My 1993 MRI showed 4 lesions. My 2003 MRI showed dozens of lesions. I got a stack of MRI films...

Lesions come, go, swim around, grow, shrink, fade away, disappear, etc. I got tired of trying to predict the course of my MS based on lesions. It is not possible.

There is a school of thought that the body may go through a re-myelination process on its own accord. I believe it.
