Disappearing Lesions
Disappearing Lesions
Re: Disappearing Lesions
You should discuss the blood work results with your Physician. There is no blood test, positive or negative, that would indicate MS. All blood work is to rule in/out other possibilities. There is no blood test for MS.MnRdunck wrote: when I was just at the hospital my blood work came back funny it was during what I thought was the 2nd day of an attack Leukocytes High, Erythrocytes Low, Hemoglobin Low, Hematocrit Low, Platelets Low, MPV High and Neutrophils Low.
All lesions disapearing would mean whatever caused them was not MS, as this would be uncommon for MS.
Was the MRI of the brain, spinal cord, or both?

Actually it is quite normal. This one year time lapse video illustrates this phenomenon:

Those with MS will always have some lesions even if some disappear. If the MRI is clear (no lesions) then a diagnosis of MS is questionable.ElliotB wrote:"All lesions disapearing would mean whatever caused them was not MS, as this would be uncommon for MS. "

"...recent studies have demonstrated that C-reactive protein levels are elevated in AF. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlation between the postoperative white blood cell (WBC) count as a marker of inflammation and the development of postoperative AF after cardiac surgery. ... A more pronounced increase in postoperative WBC count independently predicts development of postoperative AF."

"Most Americans consume magnesium at levels below the RDA. Individuals with intakes below the RDA are more likely to have elevated CRP, which may contribute to cardiovascular disease risk."

Blood work results will not indicate a Multiple Sclerosis exacerbation (attack, flare-up, relapse)MnRdunck wrote: The reason I had even brought up the blood was I thought white blood is what attacks myelin.
Re: Disappearing Lesions
eg serum uric acid - mid normal in remission, low normal in relapse; "Low circulating levels of vitamin D have been found in MS patients, especially during relapses..."
and further re vit d3 status, "there was an inverse association..." ie high d3 = low WBC and vice versa " ...between 25(OH)D and WBC in smokers (p = 0.02) but no association in non-smokers (p = 0.73)." which circles back to magnesium in part.
