This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

[33_momma_of4]

I had my MRI, it showed 4 brain lesions and 2 thorasic lesions and possibly a cervical lesion. I just got my report, but have not been to the neuro yet. (I go next Wed)

What should I expect at the appointment? What treatment has helped most of you? And most importantly, could this be something else? Should I be asking for additional testing?

Confused & Frustrated!

I am no expert but my neuro diagnosed based on relapses and an MRi with 4-5 lesions on it.

It will depend on the neuro what they do. Most common are beta interferons or copaxone (which I am on). Discuss your options with your neuro.

The best piece of advice I was given is to write down all your questions so you have them with you when you go to see your neuro.

Sorry that it wasn't good news for you.
