These lesions generally indicate a longer duration of the disease process, and people with RRMS will generally have a lower ratio of T1/T2 lesions then those with SPMS.

Thanks for the info Cherie. I'm not sure if the above information makes me feel any better as I was told I have a significant amount of T1 lesions. It really kind of scares me. I don't have any disability though. Why? I just one mild case of O.N. (clinically isolated syndrome) and occasionally dizziness -- but who knows, that could have been from the psuedo-panic attacks I was having in the months after I was diagnosed because I was so freaked out. It has been almost a year since the O.N. began and nothing new has cropped up.

Beauty, great idea on faxing the questions ahead of time!

I think what makes this disease so infuriating is that it is a slippery little critter. There are never really any definitive answers. Knowledge and information always make me feel better but most of the time I can't find the answers to my questions in all of the MS research I read. So that leaves me feeling not only frustrated but scared to death. I am practicing taking Vic's advice about recognizing that MS just IS. Just trying to learn how to be zen. I'm about to sign up for a yoga class.
