I had an MRI on July 7. My primary doctor, the hospital in house neurologist, and an out patient neurologist made the first diagnosis. I have been to UVA and the neurologist there is 99% sure it is clippers. But is doing another MRI to confirm and make sure something else is going on. She said that if is was just clippers that the brain lesions should be clearing up with the prednisone.

@jamie72 Yes, prednisone is a great drug and is considered a first-line treatment for Clippers. But one prednisone is stopped, everything comes back. That’s why I’m on CellCept and rituxan; they act like prednisone without all the side effects. Is the UVA doctor going to follow your case and monitor you?
