Hello Everyone,
I was diagnosed in October 2003. Since that time I feel my disease has progressed. I've had two big attacks within the last two years. Received solumedrol infusion and recovered mostly. But not completely.
What confuses me is that according to my nuero My mri's haven't changed since day 1. Which he tells me my MS has not progressed.
Is it really possible that I could have a flare-up with new symptoms and not show any progression on MRI? I feel like my nuero must be thinking I'm imagining these symptoms. Or I'm blaming everything I have on MS. I never get to see my mri's I just go by what he tells me.
He is a Parkinson's disease specialist. But still regardedy as a very good neuro. Should I go to the MS Clinic and see a MS specialist instead? I just recently learned we have one about 45 min away. I hate changing doctors. But maybe this one isn't working in my best interest. Hey I've got to say something to perk up my spirits! Otherwise I feel like I'm losing it! LOL
Hope to hear your thoughts. and Yes this is my very first post ever!
Thanks
Judy
