Advice

Hi everyone I have not been on here for a short while lol, I just got my lumber puncture results which came back clear they said oligoclonal bands were present in both the cerebrospinal fluid and serum and that with MS the typical finding for oligoclonal bands are to be present in the CSF fluid only, not sure what that means, so no new lesions on my second MRI which was six months after my first scan and eye evoked test was clear. So at present no Medication even though he's saying MS is the likely diagnosis when I was told it was MS, I do understand I need to meet the diagnostic criteria, and have been told to keep up the vitD , all I can do is stay calm exericise and not stress, and Neurologist will see me in next few weeks, just wondering if anyone else went through this and just advice and thoughts really.

@melmel1 , it seems that oligoclonal bands that are present in both serum and CSF suggest that the bands may have originated in the blood. This can point to other conditions :- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8381471

Thank you for sending that I did read the info but was a bit confused what other things could it point too?
