waiting for lumbar puncture results
Hey, Previously on head mri results was some changes. Now I'm on hospital for the last 5 days. I have dizziness, lack of balance, fatigue and difficulty with balance and coordination. Doctor today said they still looking for results of lumbar puncture. The most I'm afraid of that if they will not find nothing, they will send me home, but I'm feeling terrible! Any tips what to do? Do i need to ask for steroids? Thank You :)
I think they use the LP to confirm what they suspect already -- MSers usually have a higher content on T-cells in their spinal fluid. Herewith the Mcdonald criteria used when considering a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis: https://mstrust.org.uk/a-z/mcdonald-criteria
Around here they go by MRI then verify with lumber punch Had one never again
