AOL EmailSharon,
Are you going to be seeing your neuro again soon? I would be asking him about
it again. Could it be another attack of the MS? I know my sister has MS and
hers was a severe attack back in the late 80's. At that time they weren't sure
it was MS.She then had a second severe attack in 1991 (when she was finally
diagnosed). She figures she must have had MS even in the mid to late 70's and
into the 80's but was never diagnosed. So I'm sure that MS can bring attacks
more than once.
Have you also seen your family physician to rule out any other problems? I
know that even with TM or MS that we need to remember there are other medical
problems other than these two that can cause problems.
Keep us posted

Subject: [TMIC] lesions, re-occurance of TM .... and such
Hi again everyone!
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

]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! Jeanne

It is complicated. 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???

That is the way I understand it too Jude. 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.

Hello All,
It has been my understanding that with TM one must have
lesions on the spine but not on the brain. If one has lesions on the brain it
is indicative of MS.
Am I misinformed regarding this information?
God Bless You,
Jude

Frank,
They were never able to locate a lesion on my spine and
from what I have read on the message forums this is true for alot of people.
I had mutiple MRIs done both with and without contrast.
