So, I have all the symptoms; But no lesions. OK, I¹m stumped, except that the brainstem lesions are still there.

My lesions can still be seen but they are inactive (C4,5,6). I was told they are like a scar. However, I've seen posts where others have been told something different. Dalton, I still have all the residuals - burning, banding, weakness - it's just that some days are better than others. It's going on 9 years for me. Hope you get to feeling better!
