OK, I'm confused!
I was diagnosed with PPMS nine months ago. With my initial MRI, I had multiple brain lesions, but since my symptoms are always there and no flares, I was given the PPMS diagnosis.
I switched over to a MS specialist and he requested another brain MRI to compare to the first MRI. I thought he told me if this 2nd MRI came back with no change, he would officially classify me as PPMS, because with PPMS your MRI's never change they stay the same.
I guess my question is this:
1. Do people with PPMS never have a change with their MRI
or
2. Does your MRI's change when your PPMS starts to progress more. (Since my haven't changed, I am just staying stable at this point)
Hope I am describing this the right way, I was just curious if anyone with Primary Progressive can explain this to me.
If this doesn't make sense, I blaming it on cogfog!
