So sorry you had a rough time with the LP. Thank goodness that can usually be avoided with the skill of the person doing the procedure [neuros did mine both times], and some preventative care. Any excuse to lay around for a whole day is a good enough excuse for me!

Was the LP you had positive? With the LACK of diagnostic skills of many neuros, I'd seriously doubt my dx if it hadn't be confirmed by LP. And then reconfirmed by redoing all the tests at Mayo.

I'm just a bit cynical-----
