Despite the Dawson Finger effect going on in my brain, they had me do some of the other tests to rule out mimics. Mainly due to the small number of leisons. It was time and space from changes in my MRIs and Clinicals that cinched my dx.
LOL, it wasn't until he told me I was dx'd what type of leisons I had. I was like, "who's fingers are in my brain?".
I did the LP under Fluroscopy (sp?). It wasn't as bad as it could have been, but it was still one of the most unpleasent experiences I've ever had.

Totally understand what you're feeling. There are days I wish they could take this back.
Hang in there!
