Waiting for the results can feel like torture sometimes. You really don't want them to find anything and yet, you do because you know something is not right. And, like a lot of us MSers, even when something was found we did not receive a dx right away. We played the wait and see game. I went to an MS specialist/researcher and played the wait and see game with her. It took 3 years for the game to finally end and while I knew it was a real possibility, it still kind of took me back a little. I knew I probably had and a few months earlier she thought I had a benign course of it or CIS (clinically isolated syndrome), it wasn't until my 3rd major flare that it hit me.

Hang in there and know you are not alone in this waiting time. We are here for you. Update us when you know the results or even if you have questions.

Warning - When you get the copy of the MRI results DO NOT consult with Dr. Google, Dr. Yahoo or Dr. Any Search Engine. Take a good deep breath and trust Dr. Real Breathing Live or rather Dr. Real Radiologist. We can help with some of the things on the report but ultimately, it's the neurologist and the radiologist that you have to trust. We're just Dr. Personal Experience.
