Will IV Steroids Affect MRI or LP Results?
by Sarahsmom46, Nov 10, 2008 07:33PM
I have a quick question for you all...
My neurologist says he doesn't want to give me Solu-Medrol for this "flare" because he said it would affect the MRI results as well as the LP if we do it fairly soon. Is what he told me true or is he just making me suffer for no reason? I don't know any better and thought who best to ask than you guys.
Thanks so much.

From what I understand in reading here and there, the solu-medrol would reduce the inflammation and cause improvement in your active lesions- that would cause them to be less visible in your next MRI. Does your neuro have the MRI scheduled yet? I'm thinking active lesions show enhancement for a 30 day or so time frame.... someone correct me if I am wrong please. As you know I am no medical expert .....
Be well,
