This was posted on my FB and found it quite interesting. I believe this to be a warning and could quite possibly be a major problem. http://rhondagessner.wordpress.com/2013/09/02/a-killer-in-your-fridge-sweet-poison-a-must-read/
Hi sara,
Ty that is very interesting to know
IF you had more lesions in your prior MRI, they can become invisible. You would need to compare them to see if this is a new lesion.
Many of us keep copies of our MRI results and other tests. I for one would not have my Dx, if I had not kept my old MRI that no one bothered to read. Many of my original lesions have gone "invisible" over time. My new one last spring showed 3 new lesions.
Welcome to our corner. You need to find a new neurologist and have someone in your corner in case you have more problems, but you need to be on a DMD to help slow down any future problems.
Hi and welcome to our little MS community,
I think i would be confused too, if i'd been dx with MS for over 10 years and a new MRI only finds 'one' T2 hypersensitivity measuring 3 mm (lesion) and no others were found anywhere else. The thing is, there is nothing you've written to indicate if the lesion is a demyelinating lesion or not, and for your age group its not seen as abnormal to find a few unspecified T2 hyperintensities on an MRI. So people could only make wild guesses, on what type it is, which isn't going to be very helpful.
I recommend speaking to the neurologist about the MRI findings and also about help getting copies of your old records, from the retired neurologist, which they've probably had some experience with.
Cheers.........JJ
Hi kyle,
No, I am not seeing a new neuro yet. I am burned out with testing and dr.s and all the medications they try and give. :/ I used to spend every day at the dr.s, different ones for duf. Reasons and when I spent 8 yrs berween them in one day, I drew the line. Anyway, I know there are no neuro's here, j it st wondering if anyone else had similar findings?
Hi Lbudd-
Your question can only be answered by a radiologist and a neurologist. The radiologist can say what and where it is and the neurologist can say why it is. We are neither. There are no doctors here. Are you seeing a new neurologist?

Sorry I commented on your post to newly diagnosed. I am a new user. Thought you were talking to me. So, my confusion was reguarding the findings on my new MRI. Is that considered a plaque/lesion for MS?
Hi,
My confusion was is that an actual MS lesion?
What is your confusion? Do you expect more lesions?
