As of next week, it will be one year since I was diagnosed and had my first MRI (January 4).

I've had 4 MRIs so far....I'm about once every 3 months - though the time between the last two was only 9 weeks as I ended up in a flare and they wanted to see if there was activity, so I went a few weeks early. Part of the HiCy protocol includes continuing the MRIs every 3 months and I'm quite glad as I like to know what's going on up there. Even though it's not reliably a predictor in studies, it seems to be a predictor/indicator in the course of my disease, which is fairly aggressive.
