Hi Liza Jane,

I had an LP after about a year with PN - which had been mild and then my sensosry nerves bite the dust after a 6 month long bout with C-Difficile Toxin (we dont know if the catalyst for the sudden loss of nerves was the intense infection for so long - or Flagyl, a neuro-toxin anti-bi I was treated with) or both, but when the docs got the results of those tests - ordered the LP - which was normal..... I believe my blood markes for ANA at the time were off - but not specific- and tests for SJogrens, MG, MS, etc. were all negative......... (my PN is predominatey sensory large fiber)
