Do you think it is possible that the MRI my neurologist gave me a few years ago would not have shown anything at the time b/c the condition wasn’t severe enough at the time? I’m just wondering if I should get tested again or if it is highly unlikely that it is related to ms? The double vision apparently was just 'one of those things that sometimes happens' with my strong vision prescription. . and   more »

Was your MRI of your brain or you spine as well? Many MRI’s as done of only the brain where there may not be lesions. An MRI done of both the brain and the spine is much more definitive of MS.   more »

Recent Comments from Visitors to this Site Re: Stem-Cell Medicine Very quietly, buried in a 3 page article on platelet rich plasma and horse and athlete injury treatments was this epic and monumental bombshell! Do NOT underestimate how significant this is. Up till this point, the US medical establishment thought that adult stem cells were unproven, of limited potential and a waste of time and money. Now the big daddy of them all, the NIH, is jumping in with both feet! This is not a secondary back up treatment to improve red blood cell levels after chemo. This is the NIH advocating THE USE OF ADULT STEM CELLS TO TREAT DEBILITATING MEDICAL CONDITIONS! Note: I could not substantiate this. Bonnie “The National Institutes for Health seem to think regenerating human muscle and bone using a person’s own adult stem cells is nearly ready for prime time. Last week, the NIH announced to its staff that it’s creating a bone marrow-stem cell transplant center within the NIH Clinical Research Center.” This is the first step of a long road but maybe one day soon, the multitude of people suffering with diseases that can be improved with adult stem cells will not have to travel overseas for treatments. We can only hope. Note: I could not substantiate this. Bonnie Re: Stem-Cell Medicine It's a good news for us and i am agreed with this article! i talk about my opinion so this facility is better then others. The warm feeling I get when someone is thoughtful enough to say thank you for having been helped far outweighs the empty one I get when there's no feedback at all.
