I agree with Snoopy.

Many people are of the belief that the end-all, be-all of this disease is enhancing lesions, and in fact this is a primary measure of the efficacy of our meds. Unfortunately the disease is not at all that simple, and avoiding relapses or enhancing lesions (however pleasant) does not necessarily lead to less disability.

It may be that you have an infection of some sort, and this is what has caused a psuedo or relapse . . .?

Did you get a C & T spine MRI at the same time. In may be lesions there that are causing the current problem.
