Re: [TMIC] Confusion

And here I am to further add to your confusion:   Me missus was dx'd with TM in 97 Sept with a lesion at T-8.  She had a second 'incident' in 99 Feb at C-5,6 so her neuro changed her dx to MS, which we had no prob with because she could qualify for the ABC's, and we chose Avonex.  Today, 304 injections later, she is doing just fine.     And no, MRI's have shown no lesions in her brain.   So, go figger.   Regards,   Bobberino in Elvisland;   nope, noe moe snoe here.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]    To: TMIC-LIST@eskimo.com      Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 11:05 AM Subject: [TMIC] Confusion I guess I'm confused about the brain lesions! Hi,    I was at the Johns Hopkins TM site yesterday reading some of the papers written by several prominent docs. The consensus is that with MS, there are lesions on the brain  and that with TM, there are lesions on the spine and none in the brain.  If lesions develop later, after a dx of TM, then the dx is changed to MS and is considered Ms all along. There is some new information on the Tm site since I had been there last and some of the papers were interesting reading.  Maybe someone else ought to go there and make sure that I have it right, but I'm pretty sure that I read it correctly.
