    1st MRI with new DMD

    Hello, all. Back from my self imposed hiatus. Lol.

    I have my 6 month MRI on Thursday. It will be the 1st one since I switched from Avonex to Copaxone. I'm a bit nervous. My lesions have been stable for years and only in my brain. But, last year, they found a new lesion on my C spine.

    Just looknig for a boost of confidence as I face this fear.

    You guys are awesome!

      I have stayed steady for years on Copaxone. I had new lesions after a year on Avonex. So you will just have to see what your body likes . I hope you are the same as last year. I have done 4 DMDs, but Copaxone has been the far easiest for me. Thus I have stayed on it for 9 years rather than switching to an oral. Why rock the boat??

          Thank you

          Thank you all for your kind words. I'm hoping for the best. Not letting my mind go much further than that. In 10 years, I've had no new lesions until the one on my C-spine. I'll keep you updated. You guys are great.

                Welcome back Kittysmith.

                Copaxone has worked well for me since I switched from betaseron in 2008.

                It has reduced both the frequency and severity of flares. Here's hoping for good MRI results.

                  I would think that if you have a new spinal lesion youŽd already know from the symptoms. Each time I had new sx and got a MRI, yep, there it was. So, if you are not noticing anything- have faith that there are no new ones.
