A member asked:

Dr. what if on last mri the lesions of multiple sclerosis disappear? is that means that i'm healed ?yeah i'm the patient

Comments: The MRI lesions in MS do NOT typically "disappear", and if this has happened, you did NOT have MS. Get a neurological consultation, but under the circumstances truly doubt your original diagnosis.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
