I
had a positive Mri for lesions in April,
my neurologist then gave me a spinal tap
and it was negative. She postponed
treatment for now and moved me up to
probable ms. However, my symptoms are
getting worse and I am concerned about
prolonging medication. What should I do?

I suggest getting another opinion. A
spinal tap may not reveal the protein
right away. There can be a lag time from
the onset of an exacerbation to when the
protein levels will elevate in the CSF.
Just so you know your treatment plan with
your doctor is within the standards of
treatment you should get another opinion.

Thank you, I guess I just needed somebody
to tell me that. Someone who understands
and is not a member of my family. I
believe I will get another opinion.
