Advice & Tips
I like MRI scans even though I find them useless accept for diagnosis. I have MRI of the brain neck and spine every year, and enjoy looking at the images. There purpose to me is just to know whats going on. No MRI will convince me to start a treatment though. Only a major ongoing change in my MS symptoms would change my mind at this pont.
