This is my concern over the LP, why go through the possible pain and risk just to prove you have it. I feel like if I have MS, I have it, and it won't matter if one test says it or not. I'm not really afraid of needles or anything like that although I don't love the idea on them going into my spin but I've had two c-sections so it wouldn't be the first time. My issue is more with the risk.
My question is so what if the neuro confirms MS, then what happens? I've been wondering "IF" I have it, I haven't really looked into what happens next, lol.

If that helps?
I had two LPs, the first neuro screwed up the first one, the second was negative for everything. I was offered a 3rd by the MS specialist, but after repeat mri's and other testing by him? He gave me a diagnosis of PPMS, and said that even if the 3rd LP would have been negative again? He wouldn't change his DX, there was enough other evidence for it, so I passed on LP #3.
If felt my symptoms were consistent with PPMS and so did he.
