Another MRI pic

Here is the thing, and it is a shame we can only post one pic per post.

Anyway, see in the centre of this image? That is my brain stem. My neurologist says that's likely where any damage is going to manifest. Lovely shot of my eyes as well.

The radiologist will go through the MRI frame by frame and I'll get the full result in a month.

the lesions on my occipital lobe hasn't changed one bit. I'll buy that.

No contrast this year, don't know why. I'll ask next time I am in.

But, like Aaron98 , I am getting less sharp mentally, or maybe that's normal for a 46yo. I ain't no teenager any more.

i try and do regular memory exercises. Should do more really. then again, I read a (non-fiction) book every week. There are things like using your other hand for basic tasks. I am right-handed, try brushing your teeth with your left hand. Very good for the brain. You see these people who lose both arms and they learn to paint with their feet. Doing something totally new can never be bad. i have started doing electronics as a hobby again after a 30 year hiatus.

Post up your MRI results as and when, folks. I'd love to see.

Later.

Why did you doctor say that there would be damage in the brain stem?

I cannot remember why now. I suppose because the demyelination is already in my spinal cord.

cdp71 , we all got to stick together.

We will all gain something out of this. Been a while since you posted. How's things?

Stay strong brother! I would argue that you are quite smart. Based on your constant research and witty posts I’d say you are doing pretty well!
