Because of the high sensitivity of CSF OB in MS as well as its high specificity in the appropriate clinical setting, examination of CSF for OB of IgG class can be strongly recommended to obtain support for the diagnosis of MS and identify patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) at increased risk of developing MS.
Zac, the blood tests are to rule out other causes for symptoms, and don't indicate whether you have MS or not. There are still no tests for MS, but it remains a diagnosis after other possibilities have been ruled out.Zac wrote:I have recently received blood results as all normal, is that likely for someone with aggressive RRMS, a recent LP was also clear, confused !!!!
