Good news, looks like MRI is the same as 8 months ago. no better, no worse. I'm very grateful for that but I'm confused on why Im having so many problems with my left side, mainly a lot of weakness and numbness. I thought your MRI had to change to mean you have had a relapse. Im just not sure what is going on with me. dont get me wrong, Im very happy with the MRI result but left confused. any suggestions.

I am happy for your MRI too! No new lesions is good news! We will take it! Yeah! Let's celebrate! Chocolate and drinks all around! Hurry! It's on Taffy.

(and they say I don't share...humpf!)

Congrats on the MRI results. Question was it only your brain that was scanned?

In my case most of my problems result from leisons on my spinal cord, both cervical and thorasic spine. My brain MRI has been consistant for several years. I have my cervical spine scanned when I have brain done. I finally had thorasic spine MRI this year and it seems much of my stuff is related to those spots.

I didn't want to rain on your good news. I just want you to be getting all the help/info you can.

thanks Taffy, chocolate sounds great right now. and Beth, yes I actually had the MRI done on my head and spine w?wo contrasts. still no lesions on my spine YIPEE!!!!! and all the same one's on the brain, no more and no less. I just dont understand why my left side is so weak and numb, for about a month now. waiting for doc. to call. they said give him a couple of day's. nice to know Im not dying LOL.

This is great, April. Really good news. No black holes, so you are still curable. Now if we just had a cure!!

Your left side weakness could be an old MS injury, raising it's ugly head, because of yucky weather, stress, too much activity or one of those creepy triggers. Relax, take it easy for awhile, stay cool and I bet it'll go away.

The good news is...no new lesions and no new symptoms, so you are not progressing in disability at lightening speed.

The bad news is...You still have MS, so you are going to have mini flares of old nerve injuries.

Stay out of the heat and humidity and try not to stress out, and you should be fine.

thanks Sally, that makes a lot of since. hope your staying nice and cool.

I don't know where you live, but could the heat be the culprit?
