When you live with MS, details matter—even the temperature of an MRI room. In this episode, Derek shares why he makes the two-hour trip to Duke for his annual MRI instead of using a closer clinic. From staying cool, to having techs talk through each scan, to the peace of mind that comes with clear communication, you’ll hear exactly why the experience makes all the difference. Derek also opens up about the challenges of claustrophobia, the importance of yearly checkups, and the blessing of seeing no new lesions in over a decade.

It’s about more than convenience—it’s about care done right.
