Well, so far my head and cervical spine MRI's have been ok, and now my thoracic spine MRI was clear. The neuro=opthamologist found thinning of the retina, but little else. I am now awaiting VEP (visual evoked potentials) results. He seem to lean toward NMO (neuromyelitis optica) instead of MS. Please I don't want it to be NMO . . .
 Meanwhile, my symptoms keep progressing, my function continues to decrease, and and . . . no diagnosis. (sigh) But I am working with a physical therapist, who found some areas of atypical tightness, given my strength level (surprised me when she said I was strong!) While in the office a couple months ago my neuro's assistant suggested I submit some art for their upcoming MS art exhibit. I posted about it in the "creativity" forum; you can see it here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post652683-1.html

But I will keep painting as long as I can. Monet had cataracts and created some of his most moving landscapes in spite of poor eyesight. I don't know if his feet burned or his hands fell asleep or he had to run to the loo constantly though . . . but I know many of the artists we revere have suffered afflictions we can only imagine, in times where medicine had even less to offer . . .

Brilliant work LH. Colors, creative, imagination, deep meaning. Love it!
You should submit your art to more than just an MS exhibit. I think many artists were challenged people, gifted in an area of expertise, but it gives them more insight. JMO Did you have an LP? I hope you don't have NMO. Good luck to you.
