MRI Anxiety
Hey all, it’s probably more a vent of my feelings than anything I’m not sure.
I’ve got my first progress MRI today, started Kesimpta 6 months ago and they are checking for new lesions etc today.
I’ve been absolutely fine about it until this morning and now I’m getting worked up and nervous, crying the full works.
I’m not really sure why I’m feeling anxious, maybe it’s the waiting on the results etc, wondering if my MS has gotten worse. I really don’t know what to feel or even how I’m feeling but I just wanted somewhere to talk about it
I take a different drug which has a reputation for taking six months to work and then 24 months to be fully effective. The drug you take is classed as being highly efficient in that it reduces your B cells within weeks. If they do find a new lesion on your scan it's not all bad news because firstly it may have occurred before the drug had settled in, in which case things should be better from now, and secondly it will allow them to evaluate the performance of the drug and move you to something stronger if they'll feel necessary thus pinching the situation in the bud.
@RC83 thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I’m hoping it’s all good news at the other end. I think the fear just stems from the last time I had an mri, I was diagnosed with MS so I think there’s probably that association
