Makes perfect sense! Thanks for sharing.
Many of my symptoms are similar to yours, though not as severe. I, too, have
had flare-ups of old symptoms and occasionally new areas of numbness or
tingling, and was told, basically, that my nervous system was over-sensitive
to stimuli because of TM. I haven't had another MRI since the first one three
years ago, and have occasionally wished I could, just to see if anything is
different. The MRI three years ago did not show a lesion, but a TM diagnosis
was made on the basis of symptoms and ruling out other diseases.
A question just came to mind -- they did a myelogram on me first (it was Labor
Day week-end and they had no one in to run the MRI), where they inject dye to
look at the vertebrae to see if there were any bone problems that could've
been causing my symptoms. When they did do the MRI, they just did it on my
brain. Would the myelogram have shown lesions, if there were any?
