I was diagnosed in April of 2011 and have only had spine lesions. I have had 3 brain MRIs with no lesions. My symptoms are weakness, balance problems, dizziness, vision issues, cognitive issues, fatigue, pain, headaches.. to name a few.
My arms and legs are weak and heavy. I have trouble walking far without resting. If I stand up for too long my back hurts. I am always dizzy and the floor feels like it is moving up and down... kind of like I'm on a boat. I joke with my kids that I would make a bad pirate because I seem to get pretty seasick
I did have a positive LP. My spine lesions are in my cervical and upper thoracic spine only. The lesions are at C3, C4-C5, C6, T1-T2. My neurologist did not seem concerned that my brain scan did not show lesions.
The longest I have been in the MRI tube was for the brain, C-spine, and the T-spine and it took around 1 1/2 hours. And earlier that day I had the spinal tap done! That's when I got diagnosed!! Luckily I was admitted in the hospital at the time. Not a fun day
Hope that helped!
I had another MRI today of my brain and C-spine to see if there are any changes so I will let you know if my brain has any lesions when I get the results.
