Bddouglas, did you say that you do have o-bands? It is my impression that the presence of o-bands is an indication of active MS.

I found the following on Wikipedia under Oligoclonal Band:

“Oligoclonal bands are an important indicator in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Approximately 79%-90% of all patients with multiple sclerosis have permanently observable oligoclonal bands”.

I’m confused. Do you think that your doctor thinks that the absence of o-bands would suggest an absence of MS? I’ve always thought it was the other way around. Huh?
