Lumbar Puncture

[Danielle28]

She didn't see lesions so she opted to not do it. It was nice to not have one, but I felt really frustrated with the whole experience. I do have degenerative disk disease but it doesn't explain my neurological symptoms, according to her. 

On the bright side I have access to all of my medical records online, if only I knew how to read the results. 

I can see clearly I am out of range on some things... I guess I can spend some time googling things for more information.

Danielle,

Must say I'm glad you're not having the LP, but I'm sorry that you were made to feel your symptoms were minimized.  "Everyone has fatigue"...well, don't think anyone really understands unless they have experienced the debilitating fatigue we can have!

Now you have one more test done, and can go forward from here. That's good you have all your records.
I hope your appointment with the rhuemy on the 13th goes well!  Keep us posted.

Mel52,

I noticed some of your first posts, and want to Welcome you to Sjogren's World!  I hope you find this a very informative forum, with some very friendly people.  Please keep posting.  If you like, you could start a new topic in the Social Hour and introduce yourself; if not, that's perfectly fine, too.

We look forward to hearing more from you, and again, Welcome!!
Take care,
Melinda
