I have my next neuro follow up tomorrow, so am hoping I will have more info. from my various testing and latest MRI. I know he's got to rule everything else in the world out, and his reputation as a dr. is on the line, as well as my health but it doesn't make it any easier to wait.<BR/><BR/>I had a lumbar puncture last week and it showed elevated white cells so now he is on a mission to try to prove it is something else. Everything from HIV to west nile is being tested. GEESH. It's not that I WANT MS because I certainly don't, I just really think it's what I have. Time will tell I guess. I am hoping for some encouragement with others having gone thru it or going thru it now out htere in blogville. ;-)<BR/><BR/>JennJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963404890327992253noreply@blogger.com
