I couldn't tell you the number of lesions I had, the radiologist just said, "A lot". My neurologist said, "When there's a significant load, they don't bother to count". So I must have a good pile of the suckers.

With that said, I was guessed to have MS 5 years (at least) prior to my diagnosis almost 3 years ago. So say I've lived with MS approx. 8 years now, 2 relapses, and my symptoms (despite the amount of lesions) have been sensory only.

I saw my neurologist today who said, "I think you just got lucky" (about the fact that I'm stable and not on a DMD or Ty... though he tried to get me on either or today and I held firm).

Have to agree with Snoopy. We're all so very different with our diseases. A coworker has as many as 2 relapses a year, so maybe she's accounting for my lack of them?
