I had my follow-up MRI last Friday and got the report back yesterday.  It says, "IMPRESSION: Findings consistent with a demyelating disease.  The most impressive lesions is in the right pons."  In the FINDINGS section it reads, "There are no T2 bright lesions and there is no abnormal enhancement.  (On the last MRI there were many T2 lesions.  I don't know what this means).  In the left hemisphere, there are fie punctate areas of signal increase at the gray-white matter interface in the mesial frontal, mid forceps minor, mid centrum semiovale and posterior parietal periventricular locations.  In the right hemisphere, there are focal areas of increased signal in the white matter of the right periventricular frontal, centrum semiovale, right occipital and right thalamic regions.  There is a diffuse area of bright signal int he right half of the pons just above the superior cerebellar peduncle.  This rather large area measures approximately 1.3 cm in diameter.  (This was on the first MRI and has been the most 'worrisome' one for the two neurologists I saw)."   Can anyone help me with the interpretation?  I don't see my neuro again until January 3rd.  I can't wait that long!  I have waited long enough to find out what is going on.  Every doctor I have seen, or who has been involved in this some way--three neuros, one rheumy, an infectious disease specialist (they thought originally I had Lyme disease and so my rheumy consulted with the ID), my PCP, and two different radiologists (had the MRIs at two different facilities) all say "It definately looks like MS."  THe specialist at OHSU, Multiple Sclerosis Center for Oregon, said "probable MS."  She strongly believes it is MS, even to the point that she would start me on Copaxone if I was her patient (she was a consultant for my local neuro).  I am thinking my neuro will confirm in January and start me on Copaxone.  But until then, any thoughts?  Also, what can I expect from Copaxone?  Is it a daily injection or weekly?  Thanks for ANY advise or insight you can give me!  This has been a long, awful road.  It essentially started 12 years ago with misdiagnoses, but it really started to get bad last April when I started to actively seek answers.As always, you are all in my prayers.  Thank you for being there for me.  I am sorry I haven't been here much for you.  I have been wrapped up in this so tight that I can't seem to claw my way out.  I wait anxiously for your input.~Jlynn
