I don't understand how most hospitals do their MRIs in 2 hours (give or
take), but the most time I've ever spent in one is 30 minutes..and
that's when I did it with and without contrast...?

Had my annual evaluation with Dr Kerr yesterday after a 2+ hour MRI.
The MRI preliminary report says there is "no evidence for abnormal
cord signal to suggest transverse myelitis". I was blown away to
learn that the myelin had all "regrown" after 4 years. Of course, I
still can't walk without a walker and that is only for ten minutes.
Then I revert to the wheel chair. I assume now all I need if for the
nerves to reconnect, lol. I would be happy to receive comments on
this report as I am still baffled about the myelin. I thought the
loss of myelin was the cause of the paralysis.
Dr Kerr also recommended that I start taking Topamax because I
complained about the weight gain associated with the Lyrica. The side
effects are kind of scarey. I wondered who was taking it and what
their experience had been.
Looking forward to all responses.

Does anyone here use a chiropractor or know if it is safe? My
shoulders and neck hurt so bad, and I was wondering if it might help
me. the lady i talked to also does massage which i will definitely
do, but i was wondering about the getting adjusted part. it seems a
little scary to me though. any advice or thoughts?
thanks
amanda
