Dear Wise, Experienced Club Members,
I am in the Testing Stage of things. I picked up my spinal tap results today from the lab. All is within range except for Red Cell Count which is 1 when it's supposed to be 0.
If it helps make sense, the Nucleaded Cell Count is 3, which is within range. My fluid was clear - nothing funky about it.
Protein was at the top of the range, 45 (15-45)
Oligo Bands were fine at 911 (768-1632)
Do you all think this means I am not in the club? I know that some small % just don't show in the CSF, right?
Already had an MRI w/o contrast, and lots of white lesions in my white matter - odd since i am only 47...looks like an old person brain to my untrained eye.
Had nerve conduction tests today up the tibular nerve and it took a long while for her to get a twitch out of me.
Looked at my optic nerve as well, but they wouldn't say anything.
MRI with contrast of head and neck is next to rule out active disease process or a bleed, doctor says.
What wise words would you all have for me?
Thanks in advance for your time and sharing.
