Good luck and much courage, . In my experience, LPs aren't so

bad. I'd rather have ten of those than an EMG.

Do you by any chance have scoliosis? If so, make sure they use a

fluoroscope for placement purposes. They may already be planning on it

since a radiologist is doing it. Good luck. I had more problem with

the headache after than the LP procedure itself.

I will keep you in my thoughts. I have never had a spinal tap, but several

spinal anesthesia and it really wasn't bad. They usually numb the area

first. If you got through an EMG, this should be better. I know the idea is

scary.

Dear ,

I had a lumbar puncture when I was in the hospital in June, and it

wasn't bad at all. The ER doctor did it.

I agree with Theresa: the EMG's are much worse! (And by the way, a warm

welcome to you, Theresa. You have been through so much already. My

sincere condolences upon the loss of your daughter...You write with much

eloquence.)

Let's hope that this test will yield some answers, . You are

getting so many varying results. I hope you get a firm dx soon, and some

effective treatment.

Sincerely,
