Question Lady Express.......

I have a quick question for you and others who want to chime in.

I was hospitalized last week for a couple day and received IV steroids. By the way....what a help that was. I felt so much better.

Anyhow, I went to the neuro today and he wants to do a LP. My question is, will the LP be accurate with just having steroids and......... if you have a LP while not in a "flair" can you get a false negative (meaning no o_bands)?
I read that somewhere and wanted to know if it is accurate.

I am really not wanting the LP anyhow! I had (3) MRI and everyone of them gave (2) possibilities for having the lesions that I have in the brain. one was Ischemic and the other was demyl disease. The neuro informed me today that he knew for a fact that it was not ischemic in any way. OK then where does that leave me?

Anyhow, thanks in advance for any and all replies

ps... You may be able to look back on the original thread that I posted to see the MRI results.
