Hmmm...how long after beginning steroids does the inflammation get reduced at an active lesion site?
I began IVSM on 11/19, oral pred on 11/22, and had my new MRI on 11/26. Would my lesions have "dimmed" from the steroids by then? There were a couple of new lesions, but "very subtle" changes, according to the neuro. There was a questionable area in the cervical area of the spine that the radiologist felt was a new lesion, but the neuro felt that since I have a bulging disc in the area that the area wasn't a lesion but aggravation from the disc. The spine looked weird-like it had a knick in it; and somewhat cloudy. Hmmm....
Thanks for the added info...
