Thank you, both!

The hospital where I took my LP posted my results on my online profile. I don't see any mention of a test for O-bands. I did see a WBC count twice the normal range, the lymp count about 13% higher and the mono count about only about 7%. Is this test or are these results something anybody know about ...

My blood tests are fine, my sleep study results were fine and my nerve conduction test was good. All I have are symptoms, prominent ventricles for age and white matter volume loss unusual for age. My doctor ordered a lumbar puncture next because my insurance denied the MRI with contrast. My neurolog...

I'm a 37 yo Hispanic male with a confirmed history of transverse myelitis (dx by MRI with contrast in 2004 with lesion at c5-c7 level). I took a MRI without contrast on July 11th 2014. I don't have the report in from of me, so I'll have to paraphrase from memory. I think I saw a T1 and Flair somewhe...
