Grin LP over - thanks for the thoughts =)
It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Nothing to it really!! Good thing is, I get to lay around all day drinkink my lattes (caffeine). Got my water right here also!

She said if it comes back negative, she is going to wait 3 months follow up with another MRI before starting treatment. That confused me because she pretty much alreay gave me the diagnosis, and I know a lot of LP come back negative, AND that some people don't even get one at all. If we do a follow up MRI, I don't think thre would be lesions because I have only had 4 develop in 8 years, last one being in Jan/Feb time frame.

Good thing (in case it is negative) I am following up with a specialist May 13th, so I should get a def diagnosis by then at the very least.

Thanks again for all the support, thoughts and kind words!!

Connie

Hi Connie

Glad the LP is over! Now, why are you on the computer!!! You should be lying flat on your back resting m'dear!!!

I've had 4 LPs and two of them ended up with the dreaded LP headache...I hope you don't get one...lots of fluids...caffeine...and laying flat! Build that spinal fluid and pressure back up.

Take care, and I hope you find out what the heck is wrong with you! The waiting is the toughest part of all this!!

Ack - I hope that is not what is happening to me. Why did you have to have 4? Were they all related to MS? Just curious

Yes...my first one came back inconclusive. Second one clinched my dx.

The last two were done while I have been in the clinical trial.

How long before the first and second. Were you in an active relapse for your second? I am worried what it means if this one is neg, cause then she wants to wait on treatment and do a FU MRI in 3 months... but as I said, I will be seeing a sepcialist, so he may not need the LP.

Thanks

Glad your LP is over and it wasn't bad! I hope it helps you get the dx you are looking for. :-)
