Hi Connie,
That is one of the reasons I never pushed for the LP. I admire that you opted to have it done (if I remember correctly, it was more of a choice on your part, as the doc wasn't requiring it to confirm or rule out your dx). Two neuros told me it wasn't worth it for me because it was so clear that I had MS.

No, not my choice. I would not have wanted it done :D My (general practicing) neuro wanted it to confirm my dx. Although in all the research I have done, I don't need it to confirm. She said if it were negative, we'd keep an eye on the MRIs before starting meds. Well, that isn't much good, cause in 8 years I onlyhave 4 lesions, so it could be another 2+ years before I get another lesion (prayerfully). That is why I am seeing a specialist. I really like my Neuro, but she isn't Trained in MS, and she sees a whole gamant of things. So, when I get conclusive answers from the specialist, I guess I will be teaching my neurologist... I plan to do follow up care with her I really like her!
Thanks for the well wishes. I feel much better today, but I am still laying around. I *HATE* it!!! LOL
