Just curious if there are many people who have untreated RRMS. I had my first attack in 2009. Numbness and tingling of lower extremities only upon walking. After several tests one lesion was found at T4. By the time this was found the symptoms had cleared up. Spinal tap was unremarkable as well. Not diagnosed until 2012 when there were 3 new lesions but asymptomatic.
I started copaxone May 2012 for 5 months but had to stop because of elevated liver enzymes. Stayed untreated until Feb. 2013 when I started gilenya but stopped after 3 months due to skin lesion on the face. Since then I had 2 Mri's that were unchanged. Was scheduled to start Tecfidera in Nov. 2013 but had intestinal virus that left me with post infectious IBS. Still waiting for GI symptoms to clear completely before starting Tecfidera.
As you can see I have been essentially untreated with no changes on MRI and asymptomatic.
Would love to hear from others with similar story.
