I had two LPs five years apart and neither showed O bands. However, both showed elevated protein and the second also showed elevated IGG in the results. These were two of the factors that my specialist considered in making my dx. Many people are unaware that the elevated protein levels are consistent with MS. The same is true of the elevated IGG.
I learned a lot five years ago when I was on the verge of a dx after taking a break from neuros. I'm amazed that I remember this stuff!
