The Annual Results

May 10, 2011

Yesterday I had my annual visit to the neurologist to get the results of my MRI. The results are, "Stable appearance of a patient with minimal demyelinating disease which has not advanced in the last year." Basically, my MRI has not changed in a year, therefore I am not getting worse, and do not need drugs. This is a very good thing. So, I guess I am in remission, which is also very good.

You may ask, "Will I get better?" The answer is no. There is no medicatation that can undo the damage done, only to prevent further damage. Since I am not getting worse, then there is no need to give myself a shot every day for the rest of my life. Again, a good thing. Not only would I hate the shots, but they are about $1200 per month - with insurance... that is my understanding anyway....

So, for now, I am done posting unless I have new systems that would justify me calling my doc. I see him again next year, but do not have to have another MRI for two years, unless I have new systems or get really worse.

All, is good, and I thank our Lord for the good news and answered prayers.
