Every time I feel like I'm dying or want to die, I come here. Thank God for all of you!
Latest question: Anyone know how long it takes between MRI's to show changes? I had a lot of abnormal issues on MRI back in January done by mainstream lyme ignorant doc. Asked if he would order another one to see if any changes, like less white spots, more brain atrophy, etc. He says no because any changes within 4 months would be unlikely.

Wondering if anyone has heard otherwise?

Thanks,

Beagle

I would wait longer.

Does it matter if more lesions show up? How will you feel about that if things are actually worse?

may be concerns of insurance paying. Too soon may not be covered.

Look into Chronic CeberalSpinal Venous Insufficiency. google CCSVI

may explain lesions...blood not draining properly & build up of iron deposis or toxins.

They found narrowing in both of my jugulars..in fact my right jugular is collapsed.

I have "colaterals" little vein branches that try to bypass the collapse part of jugular.

if you have iron deposits, those are specific to MS (or pakinson when they are on the crebellum)but you can have the white lesions that can be from MS or from lyme...
