Hi, thank you very much for your comment. I completely understand about the MRI and the lesions. I have consistent lesions, awful spasticity dizziness can’t walk most days can’t see straight. Had a spinal tap. Came back absent for.OCB’s some of my blood work is inconclusive, especially the CSF came back pink and abnormal red blood cell fluid as well as high potassium, abnormal low abinion Gap… My purpose of posting on this is to see if anybody has gone through the same exact things that I’m going through as I wait through this limbo of seeing my MS specialist again I appreciate all the posts of telling me what to do it reiterate what I’ve already been told by my MS specialist and I’ve been researching this has been a two year process for me. Thank you again.

You only have to have 2 of the three mri and reported symptoms count. Sorry I haven’t had a spinal tap.

Thank you for your comment. I have read McDonald criteria and my MS specialist has explained it as well. I was told I can still have Ms with clear spinal fluid and normal bloodwork.. I was curious if anyone was experiencing this same thing

You all should read McDonald criteria.

I have lesions on my brain but I haven't had a spinal tap, I've never had blood work in connection with MS, though I do have blood work done every 6 months.
