My latest MRI...
...shows more damage. I have large spots on both sides of my brain now, which sucks..My right leg has stopped being predictable and doesn't want to lift up when I walk..Had to drive to Minneapolis for my appointment (about 60 miles up to the University), and had an awful time driving home..Had to lift my leg from the gas to the break and use body strength instead of leg strength to stop the car...My neuro put me on 'roids, 1000 mgs a day for 5 days with a taper. He said he didn't want to wait for the Ty infusion as some of this would end up being permanent..Weee..Seems this is going downhill faster suddenly. I can't walk more than a few feet without my cane. Yep..I'm whining. I'll get over it & do what I can to overcome it. Sometimes I just get tired of fighting, though. Stoopid disease..:ranting:

Yup; it's a "stoopid" disease.
Sorry to hear your news. My most recent MRI (in July) also showed more lesions, so I switched from Betaseron to Copaxone. You mentioned Tysabri. Have the ABCR's not worked for you? ~ Faith |
sorry report was not all good!! hugsssssssss and hoping the steroids help keep some at bay, good luck when you do start TY!
hugsss and more hugsss,sarah |
Sorry about the report. Stoopid, stoopid **** disease. :hug:
|
Faith, Sarah, Barb..Thanks for commiserating ;).. I've been on Rebif and Copaxone, neither of which worked for various reasons..I've been told this is PPMS, but this isn't supposed to happen with that, so I don't know what to call it anymore. Well, I do, but nice girls don't talk like that :o.. The steroids seem to be helping. I went to get the mail without the cane today and made it there and back, so things are looking up. 'Roids give me wicked bad headaches, though, so I'll be glad when the taper starts (on Tuesday)..
Hope all is well with everyone! |
I'm so sorry to read about this flare, and I do hope the 'roids give you some relief.
You mentioned brain lesions and an unco-operative leg. Did your neuro do a spinal MRI as well to check for spinal lesions, in view of your leg problems? I've only had one spinal MRI, but it shows the lesions that have caused the troubles with my legs, even the original exacerbation over 30 years ago. I'll keep you in my prayers in the hope that this eases quickly for you. Please keep us up to date as to how you're managing. :hug: |
You DROVE lifting your right leg UP..and moving it to brake????
AMAZING.. you are SUPERFLY~! Hang in there...Warmly Jan |
I had spinal lesions several years ago, but nothing new now, Anne.. Just more holes in my head apparantly :rolleyes:..
Jan, I've had to drive with my left leg before, but there just wasn't enough room in the car to make it work this time (too many passengers)..Superfly? LOL..What a picture that conjures up..Don't think I could lift all the gold chains..:D |
Maybe PRMS . . .? How long have you been dx?
Why did I think you were on LDN... :confused: So sorry for the newest results. :( Cherie |
So sorry Polar, I hope the roids work and you are feeling better soon..:hug:
