Why and when are they being ordered and what are the findings that you are seeing? Caitlin just had one and this our first. It showed several spikes of lactate in various parts of her brain. Just wondering how common that is. Jeannine >> Dear Jeannine: I recently asked our Neuro to do an MRS and he told me it wasn't nessary and that there wasn't one in N. California anyway. I don't agree with him on both accounts. I can't wait to see how people on this list reply to your question. Looking forward, Lynnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
