I have been getting a brain MRI every six months since my relapse - AT MY REQUEST. My family knows to watch me for slurring of the words and shuffling of my feet. Besides headaches, watch for eye problems (floaters, flashes).
Jill - If it makes you feel better, than get the MRI. You are the boss and you get the final say!! I have said it many times before, and I will say it again - YOU are paying your doctor. YOU have hired them. YOU are the boss. Maryann & Kenny (Mkkrny) wish that she was getting the MRI's. Hindsight...
