Default MRI Tuesday

This is my 2 year check up. I was dx in '97. My MRIs have been exactly the same ever since, only one lesion in the Pons area. I don't feel any different so i don't anticipate any change. My sister says that I don't have the same activity tolerance as I have. I said that maybe I have just maybe showed my true tolerance to my family and have giveb in a little bit.

Only problem is that it's 8:30 AM!!!!!!!! I am not a morning person. Maybe it will help me sleep through it more.

I'm confused. This is your two year check-up, but you were dx in 1997 . . .? Does that mean you've only gotten bi-annual check-ups (not annual) over the last 10 yrs?

I also don't understand what you mean by "My sister says that I don't have the same activity tolerance as I have. I said that maybe I have just maybe showed my true tolerance to my family and have giveb in a little bit."

Good luck on your MRI and hope everything has remained status quo.

You'll do fine, Doyd! Maybe they'll have some cool graffiti in the tube, one of ours does and I love it!

I called the neuro office today to see if I was to bring in the films or a CD of the MRI which I had never heard of. The nurse said that the doctor had told her to telll me that the MRI was stable and that one of the lesions had even shrunk. My response to that was that I had never known I had more than one lesion!!!!! She sort of went, oops I'm sorry. I told her that I'm not concerned because I'm doing fine and will discuss the issue with her at my appointment on the 28th. What I am concerned with is that she had never told me I had an increase in lesions at some point in the last 11 years. I do remember at one of my latest appt's she discussing with me that she was wondering whether I did have MS since I had only one lesion for so long and MS means multiple. So she has some explaining to do.
