MRI made me herx one time pretty bad. I can't remember what the specific symptoms of the herx were, but I was pretty sure at the time that it was from the MRI.

No, just had my second one last week which was the same as last year. I was glad it was not worse but a little dissapointed it was not a little better.

I am so sorry yours is worse having just gone through all the waiting I feel your pain. Have your symptoms worsened or have you been feeling better.

Are you getting any symptoms from the lesions.

I did see one neurologist who told me the nerves could regenerate so don`t give up hope.

I have a lot more pain that last year so I was actually thought it might have been worse.

Take care

2004 mri had no lesions. Starated treatment actively in 2004. Here it is 2010 after years of iv, and have 5 lesions. 2004 was an open mri, 2010 a closed one. Don't know if that made a difference. Feel good.

My neuro got a lot worse on treatment---then I got better after much keep on keeping on...

I had no MRI or other scans but I can imagine what they may have looked like when I was bed ridden.

I was bedridden 2007-2009, yesterday i took a tour bus to niagra falls and the casino. today still up and running.

lymeinputnem, don`t get too discouraged just keep treating other than a dozen or so small lesions the three major ones do give me some trouble, so if i can bounce back this much thier is lots of hope for you.

the pain is really getting to me though but i think it is coming from my lower spine. I am scheduled for mri cervical spine, lumbar spine and thoracic spine, I always thought we only had one spine (Just kidding) [Big Grin]

. I have to go saturday,sunday and monday as apparently if they do them all in one shot they can only bill for one procedure grrrr.

i was looking at some of the supplements on prohealth website (used to be a poster thier when my lyme was cfs) they have some stuff for nerve damage and brain health which i am looking into.
