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 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

Connie
