Once again, look for white spots, edges. Same applies to all you.

Tough looking for lesions on cord, posting these to show my C7 99% complete cord cut from accident 20+ yrs ago. Notice spinal cord shrinks like the wicked witch's feet over time.
I called injury C6.5 to a neuro. He laughed like I was an idiot. He was my neuro for 45 minutes & told his front desk what he is. Only regret was not telling him & no, idiot wasn't word spoke.

Posting MRI's... Good idea! My last MRI was in 2003 - I just got copies of the film at that time.

Tom

I can see them. I'll let you know when mine are up. May just post them, in my profile.

This is from the MRI, that led to my final DX, in 2007. I added some to my profile album, and will share a couple more on this thread, but the rest will be there.

I misplaced my 2008's and 2009's. But did upload some from 2010 and 2011. I haven't had an MRI, since 2011.



The 2nd and 3rd are from 2/2011 and the last is from 3/2010. I edited this into this post, to save thread space and group it altogether.

I used IRFanview to edit my information.

Wow thank you for letting me see another's brain on MS. 1st photo sure shows lesions. I have 1 or 2 that size, mostly smaller ones. Spinal cord can't see due to size but that's what T1 area? My cord's sliced approx 2 verts higher. You take meds?

That could be my T1 area, not sure. The last one, I feel, looks like it's the black spots, as the whole color scheme on that MRI looks contrast? Not sure.

I just grabbed a bunch of photos from my MRI CD. I don't have any reports to look at, to know what areas, etc, I am looking at.

No, I am not on meds right now. It was Tysabri, as my next step. Couldn't tolerate the Copaxone shots(my 1st med), the site reactions were really a pain. My body rejected interfurons(Avonex), rather quickly.

The thought of the rebound effect and the fact that it's usually only for 2 years, and not even being 40...I just cannot bring myself to that final medicine.

I'm just keeping myself active, watching my diet, more for weight control, since when I gain weight I have back problems.

Otherwise, all I can do is cross my fingers, pray, and work on stress control.


to add: the third one, in relation to the other photos around it, on my MRI, those white spots look like lit up lesions. it was one of those photos that they were adjusting the view of the brain...as the shots go from whole to partial to all those various shots on the mri. leading up to that one membrane looking photo, before they angle to another area.((best way I know how to describe looking at these MRI's...because I am certainly not in the medical field to know how to describe why they take photos of the areas that they do, in an MRI))

How did you end up getting CT's and PETs of your brain? It's never been mentioned to me, before, about MS.

PET was not of brain, CT of brain is/was used for quick check from the neck up when I fell backwards going down poorly designed boardwalk ramp. You don't want ct's or pet's cause its radiation & mri's better.
