I was diagnosed several months ago through symptoms I have bern having for over 2 years and the result of my MRI. My neurologist decided after diagnosis to send me for a lumber puncture as he stated the MS clinic would want it done.
He rang me today to say lumber puncture was clear and although he thinks it is defenetly MS the MS clinic may oppose his diagnosis. I am left very confused and upset. I have had symptoms for over 2 years and my diagnosis came as a kind of a relief if that make sense. On neurologists advice I have informed work, DVLA told my family etc now I feel like a hypochondriac. My neurologist give me my diagnosis in writing. Has anyone else experienced this or had an MS diagnosis with a clear lumber puncture.
