I feel that I SHOULD know, after all these years, but I kept my head in the ground and just assumed that my neuro had everything under control. The longer that I am in this game the more I realize that I don't know (and even question how much my neuro knew), so my question is:
How long to lesions hang around? I mean I know (think) that not all symptoms have lesions and that not all lesions have symptoms associated with them, and I have heard (read) of them getting smaller and of them 'going away?'. But if I have a symptom, and IF there is a lesion associated with it, will it go away at some point after the symptom does? Will it show up for an amount of time afterwards? Or do they hang around forever?
And do the lesions show up before the symptoms do? I mean say I have an MRI and then a symptoms starts the next week. I wouldn't really expect the MRI to catch it then, but will it still show the following year on an annual MRI?
I really should have tried to learn more about this when I have the ability to actually learn things, but since I was 'doing so well' it didn't occur to me that I would ever end up not being able to do so later .
