LP tomorrow, I'm dreading it.
Hi guys, I posted back in January about possibly having MS after having numb legs last July and them finding 2 brain lesions but were not in the right location so we're probably incidental. I had a repeat MRI in Dec which showed no new lesions, but they only scanned my brain.
Well I have had 2 more episodes of symptoms since Christmas so had another MRI on the 25th April which showed multiple lesions in C3, C4, C5-6 and T12.
Spent the bank holiday weekend in and out of hospital having a 3 day course of steroids as the C5-6 lesion is active and causing cord expansion. Now I am having an LP tomorrow just to dot the I's and cross the T's I guess. I am dreading it.
Any tips for getting through the LP tomorrow?
It's not that bad. I had it about 3 years ago and realised I was worried about nothing. Just breathe and relax. Having MS is a shitter but I found Getting a diagnosis was a positive step. Good luck with your LP tomorrow.
Never had one but I wish you the best with it. Hipefully they get answeres and can give you answers and onto dmt if it is ms.
