I had a what you call CIS, but it was a bit paroxysmal. I think I got the spinal tap like 2 months after..... which I think I should have waited because it was normal. I'm thrilled its normal.... but something tells me whatever is going on with me is just very early.

My spinal tap was hell. I had begun my student teaching and ended up having to miss a week because of the horrendous headache and backache that I had. I laid on the couch and could not sit up right or really do anything. I will never repeat that again. dx or no dx
Some people get one and have no problems with it. My neuro who is a _____ did it, and I think he did that wrong too.

I was thinking that, if I hadn't brushed off my first MS symptoms at 24, and gone to a Neuro, I probably wouldn't have been DXed either. By the time I had my LP/Myleogram at 35, I was well into the disease and was DXed right away.
