At about the two year mark, me missus had a second event (this one at C-5,6).
It was then that her dx was changed to MS.

Subject: [TMIC] Lesions and Myelin Regeneration
This is a quote from one of the message forum pages on TM website:
Even though the lesion(s) are gone, there may be underlying nerve
damage caused by the inflammation and the fact that the nerves were
"unprotected" once the myelin got "eaten" away. The myelin grows back at 1mm a
day, so it takes a while for the body to repair itself, BUT the nerve can
remain damaged.
You will know what damage is left at the 2 yr mark. After this you can
still have some recovery but it is very small and unlikely to be very
noticeable.

also a Registered Nurse.
