Thanks . . . similar to my story, back in 1991. We did have available MRI's by then, but the first course of testing was always a LP or myelogram (mostly checking for mycobacteria infections, meningitis, etc.).
Chances are they'd have found our spinal lesions fairly early on, based on our symptoms . . .
