How are you doing with PPMS? I have not had anything disabling yet, just numbness, tremors, muscle spasms and fatigue. I was pretty upset when I had my MRI in February09 compared to the one I had in December08 and they found that I have at least a 1/2 dozen more active lesions in the brain. When they compared my July 2006 (I had nine lesions at that time) to the December 2008, they found that I had at least two dozen more lesions!

I realize that the number of lesions is not as important as the "location" of the lesions, but should I worry about how fast the lesions are multiplying? They also found that I have several in the thoracic and cervical spine too. I'm just trying to absorb all of this, but it can be real difficult some days, like I'm sure you all know.
