Hello Laura. I have a few questions. Does it really matter how many lesions show up on MRI if you are not symptomatic or vice versa? I personally could care less about lesion load as long as I am symptom free. If I have symptoms but no lesions I think its kind of moot imo. What do you think? Also were you symptom free for those 8 years ?LauraB wrote:StaceyB wrote:MS isn't a death sentence...
I then started Avonex and have now been on it for 8 years..my last MRI showed 0 new lesions, but unfortunately, I am currently experiencing my very first "attack" since taking the drug.
It's pretty upsetting having these new symptoms, but to only have had 1 attack in 8 years? I know how lucky I am..
Every person has a different course but is the end result really any different? I mean based on the research I have done so far MS actually seems quite predictable in that it is absolute that the disease will progress and if someone has it long enough they will be in a bad way sooner or later. If I am wrong let me know please. Has anyone ever had clinical MS for more than 20 years and not become disabled?LR1234 wrote:
I agree the Osbournes need to do a bit more research on the disease and try and educate people on the variations of the condition and how every person is different.
How long have you been in remission? How old are you? Also are you referring to the best best diet?cg50in wrote:What bummed me out was Dr Gupta never mentioned diet which has worked for me so far (knock on wood). I am also drug free. My Dad had PPMS and died of pneumonia complications after bed ridden for many years. I have seen this hideous disease at its worst which was prior to all the knowledge and DMDS we have these days. I am not one to take my remission for granted.
