So I had the neuro appointment this morning! It lasted about two hours - he took a complete med history, had me walk around to test my balance, checked all my reflexes, etc. Everything came back normal, except that my pupils react differently to light, which apparently is odd. I did get the chance to look at the MRI results from the research study, and based on that I have upwards of 20 lesions, although none in the areas that are typically associated with MS. Is that a lot? It seems like a lot to me...

I got blood work done after the appointment and will go get another MRI with contrast this Wednesday. I'm happy that at least I won't need to wait too long for this MRI, but my follow up appointment isn't until the end of November. Since I don't have any symptoms he doesn't seem to think that I am at great risk. Obviously he wants to look at the blood tests and see if any of my lesions are active or increasing in number, but it is nice that he at least told me that I shouldn't be overly concerned at this point.

For now I will think happy thoughts...
