Sorry you had such a rough time with your LP.

Even under Fluroscopy, it was the worst test out of them all. He kept telling me to relax. I told him that I hate needles and the idea of sticking one in my back scared the you know what out of me.

I'm also interested in the answer of Sally's question since I swore I would never go through that again.

My gosh! What an ordeal!

I was dx with my MRI alone - guess it had enough lesions to compensate for not having an LP.

I had made up my mind beforehand, though, that I was NOT going to have an LP regardless. My cousin had one years ago - probably more than 20 years ago - and something went wrong but she has had problems because of it since. I need to find out exactly what happened but I can remember my Mom talking about it.

Luckily I didn't need one but I've already told my Neuro that I don't want one regardless of the situation.
