Hello

This certainly does sound like a lot of MRI's over a fairly short period of time. Apart from the expense, I am not aware of MRI causing any health concerns in itself. Does your Neuro specialise in MS, or have a lot of MS patients?

I think you need to be better informed about what he is looking for. Have they found lesions on your brain? Part of the diagnostic criterial is that there is evidence of two or more attacks, separated by time - if you are experiencing new things that is quite possibly what he is looking for.

There are really no definitive tests for MS - it's just a process of finding evidence and excluding other reasons.

Hang on and I hope that you find the answers you need soon.

Regards

Lyn
