Babs:

One quick question. You mention all the blood tests you have had. Have they ever suggested a lumbar puncture?

My husband was diagnosed with Idiopathic PN for 18 years. Only last year, when his neurologist said "oh, you never went for a spinal tap, let's get you one". (It didn't hurt one bit, it's all in how the guy or gal does it).

So he has one done, and lo and behold, they found protein in his spinal fluid, which led his neuro to proclaim "ah, there must be autoimmune stuff going on here, which qualifies you for IVIG'.

So I'm just curious. With all the tests you have had done, have you ever had a spinal tap?

Thanks, Melody
