did you have the mri with contrast? that shows the lesions better than without.
at least your drs are validating you and tx'ing you. i hope the roids help.
please keep in touch and let us know how you are.
I did have contrast. It is odd. They want to redo the mri's again, but it's too soon I think. I'd like to wait a while, it's too much at once for me. Get past the optical crap first. I don't know exactly what the lumbar puncture showed, but they said it was positive. I just don't get it and am very unsure. I may want to get a different set of eyes on my tests after the optical part clears.
