What role does brain shrinkage play in someone dx with M.S.?
Our brains naturally shrink as we age, but does it occur at an accelerated rate with M.S patients? How does it accelerate with the different forms of M.S.? RR SP PP Just curious on what others' thoughts are regarding this issue with it's implications with M.S. patients. Katherine in Oregon |

On my last MRI the radiologist wrote "Some moderate brain shrinkage is noted but appropriate for medical condition and age."

I've had some brain atrophy...not sure what's "normal" for MS patients...I do know it's due to nerve cell death...
