hi kryptonite and welcome to NT.

i feel for what you're going thru. your LP results should be in. call your dr's office and ask for copies of the results. this is your medical right. my experience tells me that you should start a medical file on yourself. get copies of your mri's and your dr's visit dictation. it comes in very handy when you might see other drs or get other opinions.

are you seeing an MS specialist? when i got dx'd (diagnosed) i got a 2nd opinion. make sure your dr can listen to you and believe you. you are neither lazy nor crazy. others have difficulty understanding what they can't see.

if you call 1-800 FIGHT MS you'll be able to find your local MS society chapter. from them you can get lots of info on MS and a list of drs in your area.

IF you have MS it will be important for you to start learning something about the illness. whatever is going on, i believe that knowledge is power. it will help you to be your own best advocate. it will help you to make decisions.

please stick with us. we understand. we'll help you deal with whatever is going on.
