Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 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! Trisha 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!
