i would try to get a copy of your LP results and the report.
wherever you had it done. it's your right to get the report. you may just have to show your ID and sign a paper.

drs usually look at something called O-bands. 2 or more can indicate MS. i'm not sure what else they look at.

you DO NOT have to agree to have an LP again. if you have lesions on the MRI on the spinal cord or brain you can be dx'd without an LP.

i did have an LP early on. mine went well. it was done under flouroscopy so that the dr can see where the needle is. a radiology dr did mine in a wing of the hospital.
