Hi msarkie,

Yes, I have many spinal lesions... I have two from T11-L1 (which are what my neuro says are causing my leg/bladder problems) and I have them in the rest of my T spine and C spine as well... also many in my brain. Spinal lesions are why I got diagnosed actually. I was having bladder problems but I wrote those off as being because of the birth of my son (so did my GP and urologist). The numbness I had in my legs I wrote off as being from a fall I had down some stairs... I hit my lower back very hard and a month later some tingly sensations started in my legs and continued to get worse. I was sent for an MRI to check my Lumbar spine (checking for trauma/slipped disc), and lo and behold, two significant lesions at T11-L1. Was sent for a brain/C-spine/T-spine MRI after that and the dx of MS was made a month later.

I've never taken steroids though I wonder if I should have this time around. I wonder if it would be too late now?

I really had high hopes for the Baclofen but all it's doing it making me very tired and the spasticity is at an all time high.
