Confused! My MRIs have been stable (i.e., no new lesions or change in lesions) since diagnosed in 2011 - THANKFULLY; however, my symptoms have definitely progressed since diagnosis.
>Lesions at diagnosis (and still today): Brain = 6; Cervical Spine = 1 at C1
>Symptoms when diagnosed: Left leg/hip weakness; Left knee tingling/vibrations; fatigue
Since 2011, running has turned to slow and unstable walking with left leg foot drop (need cane when fatigued). Left arm/hand much weaker. Physical and mental fatigue has gone from very mild to severe. Cognition issues have gone from being non-existent to now affecting me on a daily basis. Was able to work FT (office job) but now not able to work due to fatigue and cognitive limitations.
Question: Is it normal to progress without changes to lesions?
All feedback is welcomed. Thank you.
