[Miriade]

Who got the updates about the new easier consensus of sign and symptoms diagnostic of MS?

What is this all about?

Easier conclusion to treat quickly patients that before was saying that they could waiting "because was not so bad" and start treatment for MS without delay. It's on the Ectrim 2017 in Europe that just finished.

The new criteria to diagnose of MS got easier including more subjects in clinical and other signs in the MRI that are not the exactly tipical exclusive locations like close to ventriculos,etc

Its include even cortical sign and more cervical, etc and with more information they will not delay years to decide to treat a patient making waiting for next flare up over a year or more. Its was discussed at the Ectrim 2017 in Europe that just finished.

Interesting for sure. I will have my next high definition, strong magnets MRI's next spring. My neuro is hesitant to DX the white spots in my brain, but does DX the lesions on my T2 thru T5 lesions as MS. There has been no change in size or shape in over a year of the 20+ white spots in my brain..

They are accepting more lesions including in other areas and even people with few lesions but with more symptoms.
