Just had my semi-annual visit with the MS neuro. He was the 2nd opinion for my dx, but he said my MS was atypical (which we had talked about before; symptomatically speaking, I've never had a relapse), and that my nerve damage might all be due to the chemo & radiation I had back in 1996 for lung cancer. My physiatrist subscribed to this hypothesis from the first sx.
Having had a couple of days to think about it, I'm totally confused about where I stand. If "MS" is just a description of sx, do the MS meds (Copaxone, in my case) make equal sense for all possible causes? I don't doubt that I have damaged myelin, but does the cause matter relative to the treatment?
