Hi

had A routine MRI scan first one since I was diagnosied in 2010, Hospital discharged me after treating my silent migraine symptoms, not sure why as nuro I was seeing should know that MSdoesnt just go away! Anyway I decided some months ago I should be seen at least once every year mainly because I was suffering from fatigue, had my appointment at which I had discussed the possibility of some medication to slow down the progression of MS after reading about it , but was told that is not an option at my Area/Hospital, but was sent for the MRI anyway.

Nowi have received a letter from head Neuro saying that I have an increased number of lesions since last MRI in 2010 and will receive an appointment to discuss treatment options!
Now how worried should I be ladies with MS ?

Any advise would be gratefully received. X

Really don't think you should be too worried.
An increase in lesions does not always lead to a worsening of clinical/physical symptoms.
You may now be offered treatment to slow down the progression of your MS. Yes, the same one you enquired about on your earlier appointment. 

The good news is they will be keeping a closer eye on you.

Thanks for your comforting words Limpy,I think the only things that have changed are I now have tingling down one arm numerous times each day, but also the fatigue has reduced quite a bit.

How are you doing at the moment?

[Limpy]

Not bad thanks Smokey.
I get the tingling thing as well, it's not there all the time, comes and goes, and is copeable.
Good luck with the appointment.
