Hiya April 1!

I had a negative LP and a positive diagnosis for MS.

Be well,
Ceci

thanks ceci, I just had to ask, I think there is still that part of me that is hoping they made a mistake. well my hand is starting to twitch, I guess its time to get off the computer for now. hope your doing well.

I completely understand April. For the first year, I was hoping for that same mistake. I had a very hard time accepting my diagnosis.

Hope your hand has stopped twitching. And if it still is, put it to good use and find someone to smack! *grin*

There are 2 indicators of MS they look for in a spinal tap. My first spinal tap showed one and ruled out other similar diseases.

Because of the way my MS was progressing my neuro wanted another spinal tap to look for the 2nd indicator of MS (which did show up) and yet to rule out other possible diseases.

I've had 3 spinals in my life and never a problem with any of them.

Take care.
