Hi Grace, Thanks for writing. I guess only because I have gotten worse, which is not consistent with TM; the new pain that I have, less balanced when walking. I have not had a spinal tap for 2 years. I don't know what it said although I have the report, I just don't know what all the jargon means. Dr. Kerr mentioned that my spinal fluid did not confirm TM. My local neuro said that there must be a lesion that the MRI is not picking up. Got me. I have been on the phone this afternoon trying to find a neuro in Indianapolis for the 3rd opinion.

Hi Carol, What is your neuro actually basing the diagnosis of MS on? Has he done a lumbar puncture and do you have oligoclonal bands in your fluid? Just curious. Gracie
