Thanks, Roger. That helps several of us. I am not familiar with your
name - are you new to this website? Always glad to see new names.

Barbara, The way my doctor explained it to me is that the MRI shows the lesion
while it is inflamed and that later MRIs don't show it because the swelling is
gone and scar tissue has replaced where the myelin was damaged and does not
necessarily show up. The damage is still there, thus the TM diagnosis still
remains. With most TM there is only the swelling once, but the effects remain.

Hi Barbara,
I reread your answer to Randy with interest.
You were told you had TM and then that you didn't.
But what puzzles me is that your neuros tell you that "the lesion isn't
there anymore".
That must mean that you had it in the first place, doesn't it?
Lesions in the spine from my understanding don't disappear, so what
happened to it?
It's a "puzzlement", isn't it?
To me anyway.
Incidentally, I now use the Bcc line as Bobby Jim advises us to do.
Bobby, why is it a good idea?
