I have been told for 20 years (since I been 14) that I have had MS. I do have the symptoms an the brain lesions an then I was told that a year ago I had 2 different spinal results. 98 was postive an a year ago was negative an I get the call 2 days ago that both spinal's were negtive. Is this even possible?

My spinal puncture (Frankenstein procedure) was inconclusive. It was the lesions in the MRI that resulted in the diagnosis.
