Infection occurred: Two years ago, and you are recovering; labs correct faster than clinical symptoms, if they ever will.

Work with your neuro: Specialist, so you can remain in remission. Also, with your integrative medicine doctor to help you out with lifestyle management, nutritional supplements, and ways to help with energy level support as the white matter foci are areas of concern for all.
