I've been on before with lots of questions. Now I have some answers and its a relief. After seeing 3 neuros in Washington state all three agreed that I have "a touch of MS with not enough lesions to warrant putting me through treatment". Frustrating I know. I have since moved to Montana and believe I had an attack due to the stress of the move. I fell down some stairs, and fell outside. My kids bought me a cane because I was so unstable on my feet. I established myself here with a new doc and she sent me straight to a neuro with a recommendation of getting me on meds.
He was great, very agitated that the other docs didn't get me on treatment. He was not happy, looked at both MRI's from last year and found lesions not indicated. He feels that there are many more that were not picked up on them. SO he sent me running to the infusion center at the hospital for 3 treatments of steroids, then 11 days of prednisone, and then 40mg 3x a week copaxone.
So after almost a year I finally am getting the treatment I have needed. With a dx of RRMS.
