They will do it if the leison shows up active on an MRI. My main problem is by the time I "shot the tube", my new leisons have been inactive. Nothing like hearing that a leison is new but old already. :rolleyes:

This is what I read! I maily only have sensory. I do have a lesion that showed active on my MRI a few weeks ago, and can still tell, but I am tying to let it simmer down on it's own...

Shot the tube!! Ack, I can only figure that *I* would get a disease where I have to do this on a semi-regular basis. I am very claustrophobic... Yay me!
