Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Here I go - I'm going to be brave this week! I'm calling the doctor to order the spinal tap he wanted. I saw a neurologist last month with my MRI in hand. The MRI showed 2-3 lesions on my brain. I'm having several symptoms and they are getting worse, plus I'm having new symptoms. It has been 4 1/2 months since they started. Anyways, the doctor wanted to do a spinal tap, and I was unsure about it. He told me to call him when I got ready for it. Well I planned on not going back to him- I felt like we weren't going to see things the same way. So I made a couple appointments with some other neuros but can get in for 2 months. I hate the limbo thing, so I'm going to get the spinal tap - thanks to you all that shared your experiences, I'm hoping I have as good of luck. I am going to ask for the blood patch, because I'm not good at taking it easy, okay I'm a busybody! I'm going back to the original doctor for the test because I should be able to get it done soon. Then if I still don't care for him, I can always go somewhere else, but that dreaded spinal tap will be over with:) Also, I'm wanting to rule out Lyme disease, or maybe hoping that is what I have. Looks like the same symptoms that I have. So bring on the spinal tap - I'm making the call tomorrow, I'm on a mission - no chickens here!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend, and I just love this group!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
