Well, I thought I had all the results, but the last of the labs from the spinal tap have come in, this time with comments beside them. Though it's never a definitive, but the results, MRI and symptoms... Nearly 100% certain the neuro is going to see me and say "yep, you're an alien....oh and you have ms"

I have 5 oliogoclonal bands and the high ratio between igg/albumin, but lacking any markers for neurosyphillis, and lesions present in the MRI. So next hurdle is treatment. Which judging from the boards, is a greater hurdle than diagnosis.

But I guess I need to stop smoking, shouldn't need to change my diet since I already detest processed foods, not a big meat eater, and prefer my veggies plucked fresh from the plant... Might give in on some of the caffeine but can't sleep without it.

And not mistyped lol, went caffeine free a few years ago for about six or seven months and in the end was averaging 8 hours of sleep a week. Even as a child my mother would put me to bed with a cup of tea.

Other than that, I guess, keep busy, have fun and maybe ask for some better 'happy pills' though I do hope at least one of the ms specific meds works for me, and maybe they can finally decide to operate on my poor tendons and ligaments. It's not that they aren't bad enough to require surgery, but having no clue as to how they obtained their present state no doctor was willing to touch them.
