Keri, you have gotten some really good advice today...I think you owe it to yourself to have all the bloodwork done to catch any mimics. I don't care whose fingers are in your brain! Get the neuro to run all the bloodwork!

However, I am one of the ones who says skip the LP, unless you have to have it!!! I agree with your neuro! Who in the world WANTS an LP!!! Not me! I did it once, no bad side effects (cause I wasn't moving afterwards unless there was a fire in the room!), my doctor did it (the only one I trusted) and I won't ever do it again! Eeeek!
