That's why I was asking if they've ever explained that to you, since you went through periods of relapses every 3 months, like me. If "inflammation"/enhancement is an indication of activity/relapses (or so they say, when evaluating our drug options), then why would we be having so many relapses without them showing on a MRI?

Then the non-enhancing (more permanent) ones show up suddenly . . .

You are an anomaly, so I find it interesting . . .

If you are not in a relapse now, might that indicate that your sudden arm damage is not connected to MS then? (Unless you have a new non-enhancing lesion in that area of the brainstem/spinal cord . . . which it doesn't seem you do . . .?).

Absolutely!

That's what we are looking for. But the new lesions are in the PAIN area. I still have the EMG yet to be done so until all the tests are in, I am not venturing a guess as to what the problem is. At this point, I am happy to have the pain at a point that is tolerable. And limited use of my right arm! Baby steps.
