This makes so much sense Sally! Especially since MRI's and brain lesions are absolutely NOT indicative of the disease progression. Although it seems some do use MRI's as a way to see if their meds are working. I had no lesions 2 years ago when I had an MRI done. I think when that MRI came back negative, and the LP showed no O-bands, that was when the neuro dismissed me.

Aren't O-bands released episodically? Like when the myelin is actually being destroyed?
