Re: MRI with or without contrast?

I don't think I will agree to the contrast then unless my doctor feels strongly about it since they will still be able to see all my lesions. Thank you for your help.

Re: MRI with or without contrast?

My doctor has not said why she is thinking of ordering the MRI with contrast. She just said she wants me to come in tomorrow and get the order so I can have the MRI before seeing the neurologist in a couple of weeks. If I agree to the contrast will it help them get a better image of my lesions? Will...

MRI with or without contrast?

I am not having symptoms like I was before, it is definitely much better. My doctor said we would decide at my a...

Re: Help with MRI results

Since there are about 400 illness that mimic the symptoms of MS, it could be MS or not. What type of diet are you following? Are you gluten free? Do you exercise regularly? I have been gluten free for a while now. I try to eat as healthy as I can. I used to walk/run over an hour or get on the ellip...

Re: Help with MRI results

He said lesions are normal , everyone has them. He said they show to some degree in pretty much every MRI. He also told my friend he was healthy but he switched to a different neurologist who found significant brain injuries. Welcome to ThisIsMS, Heather. I don't think I would use the word "no...

Re: Help with MRI results

Did you see a neurologist? If so, was kind of neuro is he? (FWIW, my first neurologist mis-diagnosed me!) It was a general neurologist. He didn't seem to be sure of much when we were talking. He kept saying things like "I really don't know what to make of this, what do you think?" and &qu...
