Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 To All, I had a lumbar puncture 2 weeks ago. 4 ccs were sent to Igenex and 4 to a local lab testing for demyeliting bands. The Igenex test (PCR) was negative, the myelin test was positive. I was positive on Western Blot 2 years ago and Dr. J. has treated me with abx including 60 days of Rocphin (a year ago). I have not improved and the new local neurologist believes I had Lyme but my current symptoms are do to MS and wants to treat for MS including steroids. Has anyone else had similar experiences? What is the meaning of the negative PCR? I have severe neurological problem, demyeliting and can hardly get around. Any impute would be appreciated.
