Just curious and asking while I remember - if there is already a Dx,

what's the purpose of an LP?

n,

Thank you so very much for this... For the 10 years since my

diagnosis, I've always questioned just why my SSD went through

so easily, so quickly and without having to even finish that

gazillion paged questionnaire... NOW I know the reason. My L.P.

was performed my diagnosis, and I always thought that she wanted

"all" the testing to do whatever it was that she was calculating

(according to Dr. Zaretsky -- the good neurologist, as opposed

to the guy who took over after she left their practice,

otherwise known as the meuron) I was already progressive when I

was diagnosed, and then medical history placed me as having

already been dealing with the MonSter 10 years prior to my

diagnosis..

Interesting, very interesting.. Now all I have to do is remember

to ask my current neurologist IF he ever received my records

from the meuron, and if he did, IF that L.P. was positive of the

Oglio-stuffs.. and I wish my memory was better, though I have

told to remind me when we next see the doc, in February..

Wonder if the nurse can answer that question before I see the

doctor...

Happy Holidays to you n

HUGS & LOVE
