Default The LP results are in...

And it confirms my Dx.

I have greater than 5 oligoclonal bands that are not supported in my serum.

I have a pretty elevated IgG index. Normal is 0.66. Normal (which is elevated) for MS is .7 or above, mine is 1.62.

Albumin is normal, so I am not leaking protein to give me a false positive.

Ugh...

Now a second opinion really is a moot point. But, it is good to have the confirmation and additional information. So, I will take what I can from the visit, and discuss it with my regular neuro who I will b following up with.

Now I have to really consider which DMD, if any, I want to go on.
