In Limbo

[pyablon]

Hi All:
I'm Patti and after 2 years of random symptoms and 12 doctors (Chiro, Ortho, Rheum, Neuro and Pain Management), 10 MRI's etc. I'm hopefully finally on he right track. It seems that doctors have narrowed it down to MS, Spinal Compression or Chronic Lyme (was treated in NY 11 yrs ago). One more MRI, Evoke Potential and lumbar puncture to go. Doctors say "I'm complicated"!! Just wanted to say I'm glad I found this site and will keep checking in

Hi and welcome to the boards. I am sorry that you have been struggling with a diagnosis for so long. I am wondering if your doctors ever looked at your vitamin D, B-12 and magnesium levels. These are simple blood tests and you need to have them in line before you begin thinking of an LP. Good luck
