how often?

If it's on your mind and it has to do with multiple sclerosis in any way, post it here.

Here's the tail end of it, maybe the equivalent of "results"??
Bob.
I know a little German.


I'll see if he can translate (sorry, I couldn't resist).

I've wondered about this too. it seems my neuro wants to see me about every 4 mos. I have very much worsening symptoms over the past year, and wonder about length of time between MRI's

I have good insurance, am I a cash cow for the neuro's office?

I live in Chicagoland, but visit New Jersey often...

I have tried to enroll in a study at NYU to gauge the effectiveness of 7 tesla MRI with regard to MS lesions...will the increased strength provide data that will help in symptom management or prediction of outcome..I did not phrase that properly but I can't think right now...

Anyway, I've heard and read about the NYU MS center for many months now, it's seems impressive, If I'm only going to see a neuro once or twice a year maybe that's a good way to go. I like teaching hospitals..
