Narrowing of the spaces in the spine..can compress the nerves and cord.

Yes I take the DMD.  Jus started.  Rebif.  My rght leg got really weak for the first time b4 I even new anything about having MS.  My right thumb feels kinda weird sometimes.  Cognition can get really bad.  Since I took the solumedral foe 4 days, the the pills for a week after the iv thing, everything has been back to normal.  Except my rgt thumb and cognition.

Hi Kelli,

I was wonder if this was done on a 3T or 1.5T MRI?

If you currently have lesions in your spine, then I would think that you would feel the effects of them right now. So, if you're doing OK, then for now, you should be OK.  

I have lesions in my spine, too. One of them is 4 cm (40 mm) long and I think another one is longer than that. I have spasticity with stiffness in my legs, and get all sorts of weird things with numbness/tingling/hyper-sensitivity/pinpricks off and on all the time and fun incontinence/frequency/urgency issues.  Plus, my legs feel really weak some days.  

You have already started taking a DMD, right?

Nobody will tell you, because nobody really knows!  Even your neurologist won't tell you.  What they want you to do is tell them how *you're* doing.  

All I can say is that I have several lesions in my spinal cord, and I'm still walking.  Everybody is different.

I have already been dx.  I was just wondering what the severity of these sounds like, I know you guys are really smart and informative about this type of thing.  That's why I'm asking
