I've had several MRIs and have also had some interesting interpretations of them. Things like, "There has been no change. There are new lesions here, here and here...", and my all time favorite, "There's nothing significant going on at this time."
To that last one, I respectfully say, "Perhaps according to the MRI, but I can assure you that what is going on is quite significant with respect to the impact it is having on my life."

I think that in a lot of cases, there is too much reliance placed on the MRI and not enough emphasis/concern directed toward dealing with actual symptoms; and the effct that they have on the lives of those who suffer them.

With love, Erika
