Diagnosis without positive LP

Hi folks, just wanted to ask if a person can still be referred to an ms nurse if they have had lesions on the brain that are not diagnostic of MS with a negative lumbar puncture? I am due to go for my LP next week and symptoms of dizziness, burning pins and needles remain. I was told if it was positive I would be referred to the ms team , however I am wondering that if it's negativite will I just be left without treatment. Any suggestions as to how things work. Thanks Kate

Having just been diagnosed yesterday without even having a successful LP it is possible to get diagnosed without it but it all depends on circumstances and symptoms etc and how many lesions and where they are

Ohhhh I got referred to ms nurse before Christmas but only just got official diagnosis to answer thee question too
