Scans and DMT

Symptoms and treatments

Continuing the discussion from MS Related ?:

Well the hives are still here but this now seems so trivial although still annoying.

Unfortunately I’ve not had great news today from my neurologist , a new spinal lesion has been found at C5 to add to the one I have at C2.

So that’s 2 new lesions one in my brain and one in my spine since I hit 60 , so much for MS " burning out " as we get older ! I’m now 63.

I was on Copaxone and my neurologist has now recommended Cladribine.

I’ve only learned this today and my scans were done in June.

I wish he had prescribed this DMT at the start.

Luckily , I’ve already had my shingles and pneumonia vaccines and I’m having the flu jab on Saturday.

I just need to have a Covid jab and some more blood tests before I can start taking Cladribine.

Fortunately my brain scan is unchanged.

I’ve always tried to look forward and to do what I can while I can.

I deal with each day as it comes but today I’m worrying where this is heading.

Sorry I’m having a bit of a pity party today :confused:

new lesions must be horrible news (especially on the brain if none were there before :roll_eyes:)

Hi Clare that’s good to hear.:slightly_smiling_face:

I’m far too stubborn to not be having a good day - I’ve been wobbling on a step ladder while painting a bathroom ceiling with my dodgy eyes and shaky hands and, getting told off today. how’s that for multi tasking eh? :rofl:
