MRI Results

[hairbrain4]

Looks like there hasn't been much change in my MRI since last year. That's good but what is causing me so much trouble? Guess I'll have to wait until Dec 8 to find out. MRIs don't always show what the problem is. At least all the flares have settled down a bit. They were happening about once a week. Now it's about every 1 1/2 weeks. That's a little progress! My PCP has run several blood tests too so I should get those results back next week. I really don't like being old. I'm still looking for the "Gold" in the "Golden Years". I bet it's that fool's gold I used to find in the dirt when I was a kid.

I wish I knew the answer to that also. My mri results have shown minimal changes since diagnosis, but my symptoms have steadily gotten worse.

It's kinda crazy, isn't it! But then again what about MS is normal?🤣😂🙃

MRIs definitely don’t necessarily identify what we are feeling. I’ve had that experience as well. I’m glad things have calmed down a bit. Keep us posted.

I recall that the MRIs that we get only see certain (either white or grey) brain matter. So, much of our brains are not observed with a MRI and some MS activities are "Hidden."

That's true & sometimes we don't even need an MRI to tell us something is wrong or there are active lesions. I can feel them when they are active. When I finally got my MRI I wasn't feeling any pain in my head.

Ty for the giggle about fools gold 🤣 I’m glad nothing is worse on your scans and you’re feeling a little better 🙏

I'm happy about your good results. Loved your "fools' gold" comment!

Further apart. Well, hopefully they will get to be years apart! Let us know what's said after your appointment!

fools' gold😜

it's good nothing showed, but you took the words out of my mouth when you mentioned changes don't always show. it's good you're getting the full workup. i used to blame everything on my stupid spine, but i'm learning to take a more wholistic approach. if nothing else, the pcp can rule out other issues and then you and your neuro can confidently get to work.🤗

[hairbrain4 in reply to BlanketTime1]

I have been blessed with both my PCP & neuro because they work together to try to find out what is going on.

[BlanketTime1 in reply to hairbrain4]

we've all met our share of arrogant drs pretending to be god.🤬definitely fortunate. i hope they find out how to help you soon.🤗

[hairbrain4 in reply to BlanketTime1]

My first neuro was like that.
