Jenna, it must be 'where' the lesion is and how much damage it has or they have done. Also, I think it also my have to do with how long it went on from the onset before anything was done to 'stop' it?? Your earlier comment, "who knows for sure" is right on!

But I have 3 lesions on my spine. And damage to my optic nerve. So since the damage to the optic nerve was first, before the first problems showed up in the spine, it is call Divic's version of MS. I hope this makes some kind of since. But the weird thing to me is so many of you my friends have no lesions, just inflammation and can not walk and here I am with 3 lesions and can still walk???

My sister who is 3 yrs younger than me has MS. It is the one that progresses slowly but everytime she has and MRI she has more lesions on both spine and brain.

If one has lesions on the brain it is indicative of MS. Am I misinformed regarding this information? God Bless You, Jude In a message dated 11/24/2008 8:34:00 A.M.
