spinal tap done on the 21, i also have fibro,lyme,cfs, and mfs. i was

while having a spinal tap.

I'm trying to determine if it would be beneficial to undergo a spinal tap, so

I'm looking for feedback from the experts.

I have demyelinated lesions of the central nervous system and labs show nothing

to explain them. I have extremely mild symptoms, with no damage to the

peripheral nerves. I'm 44 years old, and living in a 120 year old two story

home. I work full time - office work, so easy on the body.

Is it in my best interests to rule in/rule out MS at this stage so that I can

plan for the future? Is the potential for side effects worth it, or should I

just figure that time marches on and the best thing any of us can do is ready

our homes for potential handicaps as we age?

(I think I answered my question here

Thanks!

PS -- I hope that you are all safe and sound and warm and dry with these winter

storms - and for those who are not, I hope it's of extremely short duration!
