@I have read that approximately 3-10% of people with MS are oligoclonal band negative ( from the lumbar puncture/spinal fluid results). With my own lumbar puncture next week, it would be really interesting to know how many people that have a firm diagnosis of MS were oligoclonal band negative and positive and whether this has affected symptoms to date/new lesions etc. If you were oligoclonal band negative, how were you diagnosed? MRI findings and symptoms? Or other tests? I think my neurologist mentioned that if I am oligoclonal band negative, they may consider doing something called a CTPET scan… on Shift.ms
