Susie,
This is just a personal opinion, but I don't think LP is necessary or required to get an acceptable diagnosis for MS. I realize there is judgment involved. Here's an article you might find interesting if you haven't seen it already.

The Differential Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis

Let me know if this was helpful. Blessings,
Ken
