But, what if it the MS IS 'becoming more active' (according to the MRI), Boss? Does this really prove/disprove anything?

I listened to a Neuro's speach from a Biogen conference in Las Vegas a while ago, and he presented monthly MRI's that showed that the results are entirely different from month-to-month. Sometimes there was lesion activity, but no attack going on . . . and vise-versa.

Some people have tons of lesions, and no problems, and others have very few, but are very disabled. Does having active lesions prove that the the disease is progressing, and does not having active lesions mean it's not?

I've only had one MRI in the last 15+ years, because personally I think the MRI is only reasonably effective as a diagnostic tool. Otherwise, the results don't really tell us much anyway, IMHO.
