That's what my first neuro says too. Thanks. Sharon

I was hit with TM suddenly in 9/97 and then was dxed with MS in 8/98. They have never found lesions in my spine but I do have lesions in my brain. My original neuro says he still thinks I have a hidden lesion on my spine. In late August 08 I was hit again with the severe numbness. This time on the right side instead of the original left side. The numbness has not gotten better this time. Then about 3 weeks ago I had a sudden, sharp severe pain in my back at that same level. I saw my new neuro last week and he said it was "all connected". I had already figured it was "connected". lol I am having much worse back pain lately, too. Really bad and nothing helps it. It's pain, burning and weakness.... That said, I am really doing pretty good. MS has kicked my butt at times and I have never been symptom-free since the TM attack Labor Day, 1997. I've just gotten worse over time. I am one of the lucky TMers, though, so I really hate to complain. I know it could be so much worse. I just wonder what you experts have to say about this latest occurance for me. hugs to you all Sharon Marsden --- On Tue, 11/25/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: tmic-digest Digest V2008 #457 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, November 25, 2008, 3:32 PM tmic-digest Digest Volume 2008 : Issue 457 Today's Topics: Re: [TMIC] Re: tmic-digest Digest V2 [ "jrushton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ] AOL Email #yiv2048505932 #yiv1833211580 v\:* {}#yiv2048505932 #yiv1833211580 v\:* {} 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.
