Re: Does this happen? New lesions during 1 year on meds??

In my own experience, yes, this can happen. However, I am also 70, have

had MS since I was 19, and I suspect that Avonex helps reduce the formation

of new lesions, but is by no means a cur for the process. Copaxone may be

an option. Cancel panic, , for now until you learn more. The biggie is

how you are functioning on a daily basis. I had far more exacerbations in

the first two decades after my diagnosis than I do now, for whatever reason.

We are here to read, to offer our concern and caring, and to sympathise.

I hope that you get many other responses as well.

Love to you, your plaques and your lesions as well as your brain and your

spine--yes, I do have lesions on my spine and in my brain stem. . .

Thank you for your words of wisdom, n, I realize I sound like a complete lunatic. My apologies, everyone. Truly. Particularly if there are NEW members checking in and seeing me freak out. That serves no one!And your willingness to read the rantings of a frantic newbie is beyond kind!God bless you, all. n Rojas wrote: In my own experience, yes, this can happen.

While I was on copaxone my lesions still went up. From 4 to 6 to 10 to now 14.

I am now on Rebif.

The lesion count doesn't bother me as long as I don't have symptoms. Right now fingers crossed, I am experiencing more mental that physical MS problems.

Take a deep breath and watch yourself.

Hello Again . Wow! A 6 hour MRI? That is a long mri. I know it is

scary hearing there are more lesions but I think it goes by the way you

progress. Do you have alot of symptoms? Does it seem you have got

worse? Did you already go to your f/u visit to discuss the mri results?

Dont worry. I know it is tough not knowing but we all understand and

are here for you. It helps to have others that really do understand

what we are going through. Take care.

Does this happen? New lesions during 1 year on meds??

Hello, everyone. I hope you are doing well.

My neurologist just called me in for tomorrow to go over the results of

that 6-hour MRI that I just had during my hospital stay of last week. I

begged her to speak to me a bit over the phone and tell me

SOMEthing/ANYthing and all she would say is that " there are two new

lesions on your spine and they are exacerbated and we need to do blood

tests immediately to find out if you have built antibodies against

Avonex. "

I am terrified. Beyond all reason.

Can anyone tell me if this is common? Do people who are ON medication

STILL get new lesions? Oh my God. Do they??

Thank you for any information you can offer up. As a one-year diagnosee

of this condition there is so much I do not know. And everyone here

knows so much.

Thank you!

Thank you, Kate!I just returned from the neuro appointment and it has happened - I have just been taken OFF Avonex and put ON Copaxone. Whole new drug to learn about.Anyone on this drug? Believe it or not, until the Copaxone drug company instructor arrives at my house to show me every single thing, I don't even know if it is a subcute like Avonex. I think it's a daily injection. Advice more than welcome! :)Kate Rothschild wrote:  I agree! Great post n~ What 'she' said, ! We are here for you! love from NY, Kate Re: Does this happen?

Awww {{{{{{{{}}}}}}}} You don't sound like a lunatic at all. You sound perfectly normal (even if I don't believe that exists lol). Your fears are reasonable and if you didn't have them then you might be a lunatic. lol

Seriously... All these fears are normal and you don't seem silly or crazy at all.
