New lesions

Hi everyone, I’ve just had the results from my second mri a year after my first one. They said I have two new lesions. Is that a lot? And does it mean my DMTs isn’t working?

That's the question you'll need to ask the neuro team. We're not medical so couldn't pronounce, but I'm guessing the answer will depend on which level of drug you're on currently and also how your other symptoms and general health are presenting. Unlike fifteen years ago, there are choices around treatment so there will be a discussion to be had. While you wait to see your team it might be worth keeping a daily journal of symptoms which could be the starting point for that discussion. Let us know how you get on.

@Laura94 , I agree it's a question for your Neuro. But, Avonex is one of the least effective first-line treatments. The appearance of two new lesions does tend to suggest that there has been some MS activity. So, there may well be cause to review your DMT.
