Lumbar puncture readings

I had a lumbar puncture on April first, but I haven't heard from my neuro since.I've called about 5 times for a follow up, and last week I was fed up and asked that all results be forwarded to my GP. I don't think she really knows how to read the results, she said they appeared normal, but she didn't know exactly what my neuro was looking for.

Does anyone here know what to make of this?

Glucose 3.3 mmol/L
Protein 0.72 g/L
IgA 1.78 g/L
IgM 0.8 g/L

From what I've found.....I think the protein is above normal, and everything else is normal....and most of what I've found talks about MS and IgG (which doesn't appear to have been tested).

Can anyone derive meaning from this?

IgX and so on...
