RESRRMS

Hi there! I wonder if any one could share their experiences on this. I recently went to my neurology appointment where we discussed medication, I was assessed and we looked at my previous MRI results. I saw a different neurologist this time and she interpreted the MRI scan again. She stated that I had a big lesion in my brain and a fairly big one on my spine. Also, there was a few dotted along the side of part of my brain. She also saw some floating lesions. She thought that these may have been caught in their infancy so may have attached themselves somewhere or gotten bigger or even gotten smaller by now, she doesn't know obviously. She believes that I have Rapidly Evolving Severe Relapsing Remitting MS (such a mouthful) but she has scheduled another MRI with contrast to make sure of this. Plus another MRI is a requirement for medication. However, she stated that I needed to have a blood test to rule out other things like virus's but also MS mimics. Has anyone else had to do this? I asked her if she thought that it wasn't MS then but she was honest and said its 99.9% MS. I left feeling a little bit confused? Just want to know if I am alone on this one or if others have had this experience. Thanks in advance! x

Forgot to say that I have been diagnosed with MS which some of you may already know, back in January 2015 :) x

@chloeautumnx , rapidly evolving could also be called aggressive. And, aggressive MS would require aggressive treatment. Your Neuro just wants to ensure any other causes have been eliminated, so that they're comfortable in suggesting a treatment option for you. The requirement for an MRI with contrast is to further confirm their diagnosis. They just seem to be looking after you. :wink:
