MRI results
Finally had my mri scan results through yesterday. I have something new on my brain which is called a solidarity deep white matter hyperintensity. My last mri scan was 3 years ago and I was on Aubagio back then which was ineffective.
I saw my ms nurse yesterday and she thinks I've progressed but waiting on a response from my neurologist. I'm hoping it's ms but worried about white matter disease of the brain.
My existing lesions on my brain and spine haven't gotten any worse so hoping Kesimpta is doing it's job.
Has anyone else found to have solidarity deep white matter hyperintensity spots on their brain? Slightly worried.....
My mum has had something similar for decades, they put it down to hardened arteries, it doesn't give her any bother. It's quite possible that this new matter, if ms related, appeared while you were still on your old DMT, or in the first couple of months of taking K before it had a chance to start working.
@RC83 my scan last month was the first in 3 years so they've left me that long. Along with no treatment for 5 or 6 months while having the washout for Aubagio before starting Kesimpta. I'm hoping it appeared in that time.
