Hello.
Had my 2nd MRI and LP in Oct '14 that bought me the MS Dx in March '15. Just had the 1 year follow up MRI and it was ugly.
On my 2014 MRI, I had 3 small lesions on the left that were causing some right-sided trigeminal neuralgia, but that was it. I started on Tec for ~5 months before becoming hypersensitive to it. I have been Plegridy nearly 4 months.
In that time frame, I have developed an onslaught of new symptomology. Worst of which is my left leg spasticity and some new left arm spasticity.
New MRI shows the left frontal lesion is grossly enlarged, I have a brand new right frontal lesion of remarkable size and bilateral parietal lesions, the more concerning of which is on the right. There are more new lesions identified, these are the significant ones.
My MS specialist would like to wait 6 months, remain on the same med, do a follow up MRI, see what happens.
My physiatrist wants me to get a 2nd opinion from a very well known, top-notch University Hospital due to the rapid symptom progression, MRI progression, and I guess my age and gender put me more at risk (38 and male).
