Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yesterday was our four week check up with the neurosurgeon. The doctor asked us if had started any medication for the MS. We told him that has started the Betaseron injections. At the end of the visit the doctor showed us ’s lesions on the MRI. There are many. ’s brain stem has many lesions on them as well. We were a bit taken back by that. It does explain all his symptoms being related to what the brain stem controls. The doctor told us ’s symptoms will never go away and that the medications only work for a 1/3 of the people taking them. Not very encouraging. Our regular neurologist is the one sending to the MS specialist in Philadelphia. That visit takes a few weeks to set up so we have not heard back yet. http://countermanfamilynews.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
