With all due respect, this may be Cherie's decision, but the 2 of us live in Canada. MRIs here are a bit 'different' than in the USA. They are not done frequently in a lot of cases. Heck, I'll be lucky to have another one myself. The waiting lists to have this particular test done are quite extensive.

I've heard the same in other countries as well. Medicine is not the same everywhere.

Do you also supplement elsewhere beyond DMD's or Tysabri (as examples) for your disease? If so, what have you found that has worked for you? I'm much like you, I want to ensure that I'm doing the best I can for my disease course in my mind. I'd be interested to hear what other changes you've made.
