I remembered something when I saw my PCP the other day. He asked about my LP and I told him what my Neuro said. The ONLY thing that was said about it was that "My proteins were a bit high, but okay".

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

So, just now I googled this:

http://www.bchealthguide.org/kbase/t...63/results.htm

Under "abnormal results" it says:

Protein:
A high level of protein may be caused by bleeding in the CSF, a tumour or spread of a cancer from another area of the body, diabetes, infection, injury, Guillain-Barré syndrome, severe hypothyroidism, or other nerve diseases. An increase in antibodies (immunoglobulins) may be caused by inflammation in people who have multiple sclerosis, immune system disorders, or other bacterial and viral diseases.

EDIT: Can someone explain the antibodies part of the statement? Oh, where's jensaquitur when you need her? LOL!!


Any of you who know anything...please respond! (I swear they are going to MAKE me nuts!)
