LP Results

[mathgirl24]

There was nothing found from my LP to indicate anything. Everything came back normal. So I'm still in limbo which is frustrating. He did say he would classify it as a clinically isolated syndrome and use a watch and wait approach. I'll go back in 3 months for follow up and repeat MRI in 6 months.

How many of you had normal LP but still go diagnosed?

On a positive note, I have been feeling better. Maybe I'm on the mend from whatever it is that is causing me problems and I can have more good days than bad.

I did have abnormalities in my CSF.

According to the National MS Society, 5-10% of patients with MS do not show CSF abnormalities (so... 90-95% do show abnormalities).

Glad that you are feeling better.

I was just diagnosed with CIS last month and will be starting on Copaxone next week. My LP was normal.
