Okay, so DR thinks I have MS, but more specifically, I have sensori-motor polyneuropathy and dymylenation (sp?) in my leg nerves. Two nerves don't even respond to stimulation. Anyway, is this damage reversable? Or should I expect to live with it?

Damage may not be 'reversible' but it may be 'work-around-able'

A great book to read is The Brain that Changes Itself.

It gives hope to re-wiring around damaged nerve connections.

Unfortunately, only time will give you that answer. Sometimes nerve damage resolves it's self and sometimes it's permanant.

You're worrying again Chek....stop that..

Early in the game, nerve damages can heal themselves, but MS is a progressive disease. But like they've said...most of the time, adjustable and livable.

:-( The past couple of days have just been so hard. Everything hurts! I used to be a really good, fast typer. Now I'm slow and making mistakes and every keystroke hurts or fumbles. I'm not a patient woman. I just want answers. :-P

But I guess I'll have to wait. My MRI is the 23rd, and then my Spinal Tap is scheduled for the following week. :S
