Yeah - I've heard anxiety can elevate MBP...lol...seriously, are you going to get a second opinion?

BTW - my LP didn't have bands, so my second opinion doc wouldn't say it was positive. The specialist said that they rely more on IgG index and synthesis rate and dx'd based on MRI's alone. Oh - and apparently IVSM can mess with the results, but my memory of the details is a bit foggy...it was six years ago.

Hope you get some real answers soon!
