I had them checked, and they were positive, when I was first diagnosed back in 1977.

None of the neuros I've seen since then have checked.

You have to remember that clinical signs were the only way that one could get a diagnosis of any kind in those days, and there have been so many developements since I was diagnosed way back then. MRI's had not been invented, and CSF testing had not reached the excellence that it has now.

These days such basic tests have been superceded I guess, with the myriad of tests provided by advancement in technology.

I may of course be wrong, but my thinking sounds pretty logical to me.
