MRI images from today's appointment.

Still got double vision going on so my friend, Kimberly, took me to my MRI appointment in Rockford IL. Yeah, if you ever want to get lost just have me navigate. Long story short we got there...eventually. Here is a new MRI pictures. My last MRI was 5 years ago. Technology has improved and so have the images. My MRI pictures that I posted back in 7/17/2011 were small and blurry. Now they are much clearer.






White/grey areas are lesions. Lesions are bad.

I'm not a doctor so I can only pick out the obvious lesions and those are the ones I circled in red.

Edit/update 6/21/16: 
My neurologist nurse, Lisa, called with the analysis of my MRI. There is only one new lesion and it's on my spinal cord. That lesion is the cause of my current relapse. 

Otherwise, my brain hasn't changed in the past 5 years and is stable! That is amazing! I am even more convinced that this relapse was trigger by my violent reaction to Copaxone. I also believe my diet change is what has helped stabilize my brain for so long. 

My double vision is linked to my lazy left eye that I've had for years but was triggered by the relapse. The belief, so far, is that because lazy eye is due to a weak muscle that when the relapse happened my left eye went further out of whack and can't correct itself without help. I will know more after my eye appointment tomorrow. 

The neuro nurse seemed pretty shocked by how fast I seem to be recovering. They told me to keep doing what I'm doing (diet wise) because it seems to be working. I also credit my prayer warriors. I know their heavenly petition on my behalf are crucial. All glory to God, Amen!
