Hello carbreezy,

There are many conditions that are in the category of Demyelination, not just MS . This link will give you an idea of some of them:

Quote:
I read that they are checking for "O-Bands" ... Can They test for MORE diseases besides MS....?
Yes, a Lumbar puncture is used in the diagnostic process for MS as well as other conditions.

Quote:
Also is there a Need to ever Re-Check the Spinal Fluid...? will they ever change ?
My Lumbar Puncture(LP) was positive (o-bands) when I was diagnosed. My neuro told me once the LP shows o-bands they will always be there. I have no desire to have another LP to see if it is true or not
