Nobody like me is in this thread. On my first MRI, they said I didn't have many lesions. Thought "whew" Now I know better. So typical of PPMS. Think I had dizzy some 10 years before my DX. Had my DX, thought this isn't devastating like they said. Year 2007 to 2009 I went from Canadian crutches to walker. In mid-2009 I was in a power chair. Doctor (Neurologist) and I have an unspoken agreement, we tried, no more MRIs, see you next year, call if you need me. I don't walk, little pain, no numbness, never ON, cognitive pretty OK. We're all different. MS (and life). it'll always surprise you.
