Re: [TMIC] lesions in the brain

I know that when they suspect someone of Alhzeimer's they scan the brain to 
look for lesions. I know this because my mom has Alhzeimer's.

brains, that are not ms or really anything to worry about.. it is just 
a part of their aging?  sue

 Well, from what I've learned so far, as we age, all of us, our brains  
 shrink at least 2% per year, more for those afflicted with  TM-MS,etc..

I thought that any changes- seen on C.T. or MRI probably represent some sort of 
disease such as mini strokes, atherosclerosis...

where did you learn about the shrinking??

My brain was shrunk years ago by a psychiatrist, so maybe that's why it's 
expanding!!

My Neuro was very cooperative in letting me try Lyrica for TM.  As a matter 
of fact, he thinks it will work for me better than Neurontin.  I'm not sure 
why he didn't suggest it on his own, but that is why we all have each other. 
Support and information  I can understand the fact that Dr's have many 
many patients to deal with, so sometimes it is up to us to give them a nudge 
if something is having good results with other people in our group.


Good Luck!!!

Hi Chantal, I am taking Lyrica for TM caused nerve pain.  I just looked it
up on the internet and it said, This medication is used to treat pain
caused by nerve damage due to diabetes and shingles (herpes zoster)
infection. It is also used with other medications to treat certain types of
seizures (partial onset seizures).  It seems to be helping and doesn't have
the side effects of Neurotin.  Hope this helps. - Roger in Kennewick, WA

my neuro said tha neurontin and lyrica were in the same class of drugs and did the same thing...but the more I read here, the more it seems like a better drug?

I have recently come to stay with a good friend in 
Illinois. Though my SSI transfers easily, I had to close my Medicaid case 
and reapply. During the intrim, my neuro will be able to
call in prescriptions from Penna, and I will pay 
for them. I'm going to try to eliminate a few of them, as I am currently 
on 12 per day. The most important ones are the Imuran, prednisone, and 
tegretol. We'll see how I do on just those three for awhile.

So if one's brain is not shrunk by a shrink it has less chances of shrinking
with age??

My brain was shrunk years ago by a psychiatrist, so maybe that's why it's
expanding!!

I learned about the brain shrinking from a 
symposium on MS put on by Vanderbilt University's Neurology dept three or four 
years ago. Quite an eye opener, that one was.

   Thanks Hp 

I am happy to forward any news from or about 
Grace, but as you read, she only needs to rest and relax and allow herself to be 
taken care of for the time being. She is not going to be worrying about 
us, but at the same time, will be thinking of us and is most thankful for our 
love.

When I hear from her, I will pass it on and hope that anyone else 
who hears from her will do the same.

Peace,
Jude
