My MS Specialist moved my appointment up...good for me because I have not been feeling well.
He does not think I am in a true flare, but more of a Pseudo "Type" Flare. The Anemia might be playing a role....who knows. As I said before this is more sensory than anything. He offered me Prednisone or a Medrol Pak to tamper the CNS dizziness until the next TY infusion in a couple weeks.
I took the Medrol Pak...even though its a little stronger than Prednisone. Have taken them before...oral steroids make me sick, but hope there is at least a little benefit in the end.
He went on to explain sometimes our existing symptoms can rear their ugly heads, but in time the will normally settle down once the inflammation resolves. I knew that...did not make me feel better...
He was exceptionally pleased with my MRIs which were done a couple days to me not feeling well. He was happy that there were no more lesions. He told me in all honesty that even with Tysabri he doubted the Cervical Lesions will ever go away. I have 3 distinct cervical lesions, not 5 like the report states. TY might shrink them a bit...but thats about it.
Well...at least I now know. C-Spine lesions are here to stay. I am not in medication failure and old MS Symptoms can rear their ugly heads without warning and it not be a true flare.
Hmmm...I think MS Blows.
